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.

From the blurb: "In some 2,600 definitions arranged alphabetically the compiler explains the terms used in papermaking, printing, book-binding, and the book trade. He gives biographical entries for prominent craftsmen from Gutenberg to Meynell, and notes on schools of illumination, famous manuscripts, private presses, printing societies, literary prizes, and well-known book collectors. Newspaper, periodical, and jobbing printing are excluded. While most entries are short such basic items as blockmaking, bookbinding, colour printing, letter forms and styles, lithography, Monotype, papermaking, and photogravure, receive fuller treatment of about 1,500 words. This extraordinarily comprehensive book includes many illustrations and lengthy extracts translated from Grafisk Uppslagsbok, the well-known Swedish dictionary of the graphic arts. It is fully illustrated in line and tone and includes colour plates for the various printing processes described. Glossary of the Book will be a reference tool for all branches of the book trade; it will be a handbook for students in technical colleges and graphic art schools; librarians and literary students will find it of great use in their studies, while the bibliophile and general reader will find great pleasure in dipping into the book for the out-of-the-way information within its pages." A second edition was published in 1979 but the standard of production of the first edition, especially in respect of the paper used and the reproduction of illustrations, is considerably higher than in the second edition.
