How and what to teach about religion is controversial in every
country. The Routledge International Handbook of Religious
Education is the first book to comprehensively address the range of
ways that major countries around the world teach religion in public
and private educational institutions. It discusses how three models
in particular seem to dominate the landscape. Countries with strong
cultural traditions focused on a majority religion tend to adopt an
"identification model," where instruction is provided only in the
tenets of the majority religion, often to the detriment of other
religions and their adherents. Countries with traditions that
differentiate church and state tend to adopt a "separation model,"
thus either offering instruction in a wide range of religions, or
in some cases teaching very little about religion, intentionally
leaving it to religious institutions and the home setting to
provide religious instruction. Still other countries attempt
"managed pluralism," in which neither one, nor many, but rather a
limited handful of major religious traditions are taught.
Inevitably, there are countries which do not fit any of these
dominant models and the range of methods touched upon in this book
will surprise even the most enlightened reader. Religious
instruction by educational institutions in 53 countries and regions
of the world are explored by experts native to each country. These
chapters discuss: Legal parameters in terms of subjective versus
objective instruction in religion Constitutional, statutory, social
and political contexts to religious approaches Distinctions between
the kinds of instruction permitted in elementary and secondary
schools versus what is allowed in institutions of higher learning.
Regional assessments which provide a welcome overview and
comparison. This comprehensive and authoritative volume will appeal
to educators, scholars, religious leaders, politicians, and others
interested in how religion and education interface around the
world.

New nontraditional religious movements are the most likely groups
to offend mainstream culture and the least likely to have
representatives in government to ensure that their liberty is
protected. These new religious movements are sometimes ostracized
and subject to various forms of discrimination. As America becomes
increasingly pluralistic, with more and more groups contributing to
the nation's religious mosaic, new religious movements may well
play an increasing role in the course of religious liberty in
America, just as groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses did
formerly. This book explores the problems and possibilities posed
by new religious movements for religious liberty in America.
