The maintenance of religious schools and the planning of religious education curricula raise a profound challenge. Too much state supervision can be conceived as interference in religious freedom and as a confinement of the right to cultural liberty. Too little supervision can be seen as neglecting the development of the liberal values required to live and work in a democratic society and as abandoning those who within their communities wish to attain a more rigorous education for citizenship and democracy. This book draws together leading educationalists, philosophers, theologians, and social scientists to explore issues, problems, and tensions concerning religious education in a variety of international settings. The contributors explore the possibilities and limitations of religious education in preparing citizens in multicultural and multi-religious democratic societies"-- Provided by publisher. 000907760 650_0 $$aReligion in the public schools. 000907760 650_0 $$aReligion and state. 000907760 650_0 $$aReligious education. 000907760 650_0 $$aDemocracy. 000907760 7001_ $$aAlexander, Hanan A.,$$d1953- 000907760 7001_ $$aAgbaria, Ayman K. 000907760 830_0 $$aRoutledge research in education ;$$v73. 000907760 852__ $$bebk 000907760 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=981705$$zOnline Access 000907760 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:907760$$pGLOBAL_SET 000907760 980__ $$aEBOOK 000907760 980__ $$aBIB 000907760 982__ $$aEbook 000907760 983__ $$aOnline
