This book is the first to bring together a number of essays which deal directly with the crucial topic of engagement in Religious Education. But it also breaks new ground by creating a dialogue with the world of ethics. Here readers will find fresh insights relevant to the 21st century. Contributors, all committed to excellence in Religious Education, include school teachers, sixth form tutors and those working in higher education. Addressing central issues in the debate from a range of theoretical and methodological positions, the book raises important questions about how we might understand and promote positive engagement at the present time. Primarily, it has one aim in view: to make Religious Education a more stimulating and enjoyable experience for all those involved. See more
