How do contemporary teenagers experience and understand religious,
spiritual, gender and sexual diversity? How are their experiences
mediated by where they go to school, their faith and their
geographic location? Are their outlooks materialist, religious,
spiritual, or do they have hybrid identities? Freedoms, Faiths and
Futures: Teenage Australians on Religion, Sexuality and Diversity
offers powerful insight into how teenagers make sense of the world
around them. Drawing on rich data from a major national study, this
book creates new ways of understanding the complexity of young
people's lives and how school education covering diversity best
addresses their world. This book argues that school education
focused on worldviews is founded on ways of thinking about young
people that do not reflect the complexities of Generation Z's
everyday experiences of diversity and their interactions with each
other. It argues that certain kinds of education in schools can
play a significant role in developing religious literacy, tolerance
and positive attitudes to diversity.

Australian Soul challenges the idea that religious and spiritual
life in Australia is in decline. This fascinating book describes
the character of religious and spiritual life in Australia today,
and argues that, far from petering out, religion and spirituality
are thriving. Gary Bouma, the leading expert on the state of
religious life in Australia, provides the most up-to-date facts and
figures and compares the 'tone' of Australian religious practices
with those of other countries. Australians might be less vocal and
more reticent about their religion than Americans are, but their
religious and spiritual beliefs are no less potent. Australian Soul
describes and analyses our religious and spiritual life in detail
as well as providing a series of case studies that illustrate the
range of practices and beliefs in Australia today. Australian Soul
predicts a vital future for religion and spirituality.
