9780809118212 - Religion in Public Education von Engel, David E (1 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. While the religious situation has become more pluralistic and legal guidelines about religious practice have become clearer, interest in serious study about religion has increased. For years religion has been studied in higher education. But especially since 1963, interest about studying religion in public schools has heightened. That interest has developed from varied interests and mixed motivations. Some program developments occurred before it could be clearly discerned what might warrant such studies in public institutions. But the activity of the last decade or so by scholars in the field of religion, university personnel reflecting on and theorizing about educational development, as well as countless dedicated teachers in basic education, has greatly clarified what can be done, how religion can appropriately be taught and what value such an enterprise may have.
