Taylor & Francis Religious Education as a Dialogue with Difference
Book SynopsisReligious Education as a Dialogue with Difference addresses current issues over the study of religion in publicly maintained schools. Are liberal, inclusive approaches to the study of religion suited to the aims of education in a democracy? Do liberal democratic aims offer the right framework for the study of religion? By presenting research on English secondary school pupils' motivation in religious education, this volume argues that religious education is best understood as a democratic dialogue with difference. The book offers empirical evidence for this claim, and it demonstrates how learners gain in religious literacy, both through the exercise of democratic citizenship in the classroom and towards the goal of life-long democratic citizenship.Trade Review"With a thirty-three year career in education, Kevin O’Grady’s book offers an illuminating example of how research engagementprovides the catalyst for thoughtful and insightful reflections on religious education, current schooling and contemporary research, written ‘as a contribution to debates over how religion should be studied in schools’. […] The book will be of interest to anyone interested in current debates about the place of religious education in society, especially in how these debates play out in classrooms, and in how religious education teachers can also be involved in, comment on and contribute to research."Nigel Fancourt, Journal of Beliefs and Values."O’Grady has a convincing argument for RE as a dialogue with difference [. . .] which I would recommend for academics, teacher-trainers, educational experts and stakeholders not only in the UK but in other parts of Europe and in the rest of the world."Leni Franken (2019), Religious education as a dialogues with difference: Fostering democratic citizenship through the study of religions in schools, British Journal of Religious Education.

"Religious Education as a Dialogue with Difference summarizes Kevin O’Grady’s outstanding work in the field of religious education. O’Grady’s excellent, very readable, book is highly relevant to on-going debates about the study of religions and beliefs in schools in different parts of the world, including the USA and Canada. It deserves to be read widely by teachers, student teachers and education academics."Robert Jackson, Professor Emeritus, University of Warwick, UK."As a former teacher with similar professional experiences in a culturally diverse inner-city area in England, I recognize the socially challenging, complex, diverse and hugely rewarding teaching context which O'Grady evokes. The examples of pupil voice he captures so scrupulously reminded me of young people I have taught and known. I would be inspired by his practice were I a teacher still and able to translate it to my own classroom.[…] It would be wonderful for the next generation of teacher leaders in schools in England to be introduced to this material . . ."Janet Orchard, Senior Lecturer, University of Bristol, UK."Religious Education as a Dialogue with Difference represents a timely contribution to the field of religious education. While primarily based on Kevin O’Grady’s own empirical research, it also incorporates the results of a number of other studies to argue for a multi-faith school subject in which all types of students are taught together regardless of their religious, ethnic and/or cultural background. I consider O’Grady’s book to be of value to the Swedish context and I intend to employ it in my own RE teacher training courses […] I would certainly recommend that other educators take advantage of O’Grady’s thoroughgoing study, especially as it applies to the training of religious education teachers."Jenny Berglund, Professor, Stockholm University, Sweden.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd For Goodness Sake
Book SynopsisWhile the fierce debate over religion in public schools receives ample media attention, we rarely consider the implications of religious schools on moral education and liberal democracy. In this groundbreaking work, Walter Feinberg opens up a critical new dialogue to offer a complete discussion of the important role religious schools play in the formation of a democratic citizenry. Feinberg, a leading philosopher of education, approaches the subject of religious education with a rare evenhandedness, drawing on examples from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim schools and exploring topics as disparate as sex education and creationism. For Goodness Sake provides a much-needed take on a controversial topic, demonstrating that the relationship between religion and schooling is not simply the exclusive concern of members of a given religious community, but a relevant and vital issue for everyone who cares about education. Table of Contents1. Religious Instruction and Moral Education Part One: Back to School 2. The Construction of Religious Communities 3. Criticism and Commitment 4. Faith and the Pedagogical Limits of Critical Inquiry Part Two: The Nature of the Public Interest in Religious Education 5. Safety and the Question of Educational Negligence 6. Intellectual Growth, Autonomy and Religious Education 7. Religious Chauvinism and the Democratic Citizen Part Three: The Reconstruction of Religious Education 8.

Beacon Press Faith Ed Teaching about Religion in an Age of
Book SynopsisAn intimate cross-country look at the new debate over religion in the public schools A suburban Boston school unwittingly started a firestorm of controversy over a sixth-grade field trip. The class was visiting a mosque to learn about world religions when a handful of boys, unnoticed by their teachers, joined the line of worshippers and acted out the motions of the Muslim call to prayer. A video of the prayer went viral with the title “Wellesley, Massachusetts Public School Students Learn to Pray to Allah.” Charges flew that the school exposed the children to Muslims who intended to convert American schoolchildren. Wellesley school officials defended the course, but also acknowledged the delicate dance teachers must perform when dealing with religion in the classroom.Courts long ago banned public school teachers from preaching of any kind. But the question remains: How much should schools teach about the world’s religions? Answ

Book SynopsisA gorgeous retelling of the Christmas story transports readers to Bethlehem to see the new baby king, offering a giftable view of the nativity scene. Voices roll across the desert sands to Hoshmakaka, a curmudgeonly old camel, whispering that he has been chosen for the great responsibility of carrying gifts to the new baby king. With reluctance, Hoshmakaka accepts his task. Every day in the heat crossing the desert, his pack grows ever more burdensome as the crowds of people, anxious to welcome the new king, give him their gifts to carry. He is as strong as ten horses he proudly tells the younger camels. But, oh, his gout! Oh, his sciatica! Nevertheless, Hoshmakaka plods on until he reaches Bethlehem. In the end he realizes the great honor of his task and never again is there a burden too heavy for him to carry.
