John Hull, a leading figure in the transformation of religious
education in English and Welsh schools, and co-founder of the
International Seminar on Religious Education and Values. He has
also made major contributions to the theology of disability and the
theological critique of the 'money culture'. Leading international
scholars join together to offer a critical appreciation of his
contribution to religious education and practical theology, and
explore the continuing debate about the role of religious education
in promoting international understanding, intercultural education
and human rights. The contributors also deal with indoctrination,
racism and relationship in Christian religious issues, and examine
aspects of the theology of social exclusion and disability. This
unique book includes a complete list of John Hull's writings up to
the beginning of 2005 providing both an excellent introduction to
contemporary issues of religious education in the West, and the
most complete critical account yet of his work.
"Education, Religion and Society "celebrates the career of
Professor John Hull of the University of Birmingham, UK, the
internationally renowned religious educationist who has also
achieved worldwide fame for his brilliant writings on his
experience, mid-career, of total blindness. In his outstanding
career he has been a leading figure in the transformation of
religious education in English and Welsh state schools from
Christian instruction to multi-faith religious education and was
the co-founder of the International Seminar on Religious Education
and values. John Hull has also made major contributions to the
theology of disability and the theological critique of the "money
culture."
This volume brings together leading international scholars to
honour John Hull's contribution, with a focus on furthering
scholarship in the areas where he has been active as a thinker. The
book offers a critical appreciation of his contribution to
religious education and practical theology, and goes on to explore
the continuing debate about the role of religious education in
promoting international understanding, intercultural education and
human rights education. A possible basis for integrating Islamic
education into Western education is suggested and the contribution
of the philosophy of religion to pluralistic religious education is
outlined. The contributors also deal with issues relating to
indoctrination, racism and relationship in Christian religious
aspects, and examines aspects of the the theology of social
exclusion and disability.
This International Handbook presents the research and professional
practice of scholars who are daily engaged in the consideration of
these dimensions in education. The result is a collection of essays
which reflects the discipline, in all of its internationality, as
it as today. Embedded within the chapters is also an agenda for the
future, where the religious, moral and spiritual dimensions in
education are proposed as an exciting and challenging way forward
for educators at all levels in society. As well, it offers a vision
for the emergence of a peaceful and just world.
Teaching is more, much more, than getting up in front of a class
full of students and presenting information to them. It is, affirms
distinguished educator, writer and lecturer Gloria Durka, a true
vocation, "a calling that makes claims on our souls." Her book,
which is written for teachers of all grade levels, is a journey
into the soul of education and the heart of the teacher. In seven
chapters, the book covers such ideas as teaching from the heart;
teaching courageously, creatively, wisely and morally; and, the
greatest challenge of all, facing one's own vulnerabilities. Each
chapter ends with prayers and reflections that help readers enrich
their spirituality. Primarily an exercise in spirituality aimed at
helping teachers to claim, own and celebrate their calling, this
book will appeal to: -teachers within a Christian setting.
-teachers in public education. -school administrators and those who
offer teacher training experiences.
