Spanning classrooms to boardrooms, The Politics of Religious Literacy challenges commonly held understandings of religious literacy as an inclusive framework for engaging with religion in modern, multifaith democracies. As the first book to rethink religious literacy from the perspective of affect theory and secularism studies, this new approach calls for a constructive reconsideration focused on the often-overlooked feelings and practices that inform our questionably secular age. This study offers fresh insights into the changing dynamics of religion and secularism in the public sphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Defining the “Religious” in Religious Literacy    From Secularization to the Secular Body    Religious Literacy in Context    Looking Ahead    1 The Rise of Religious Literacy   1\tValues   2\tContent Knowledge   3\tSkills   4\tCritical Responses   5\tConclusion    2 Public Sphere, Private Choice: Religious Literacy and Public Reason   1\tSecularity 3 and Religious Voluntarism   2\tTaking Religion Seriously   3\tInclusion in the Public Sphere   4\tThe Standard of Democratic Discourse   5\tConclusion    3 Religious Literacy and Its Limits: Liberalism, Affect, and Pedagogy   1\t“In the Service of Democracy”: Secularity, Civics, and Liberal Education   2\t“From Head to Heart”: Affect, Autonomy, and the Materialist Shift   3\t“The Integrity of the Teacher”: Pedagogy, Neutrality, and Secular Subjectivity   4\tConclusion    4 Tolerance and Its Discontents: Managing Offense in Religious Literacy Discourse   1\t“Allergic to Controversy”: Tolerance, Civility, and Religious Offence in Public Schools   2\t“A Crisis of Civility”: Critical Reconsiderations of Tolerance and Civil Discourse   3\t“Vigorous-Yet-Respectful Critique”: Religious Literacy’s Reframing of Tolerance Discourse   4\tThe Limits of the Law: Does Religious Literacy Step in Where the Law Ends?   5\t“Respect Your Neighbor”: Agonistic Respect, Deep Equality, and the Self-Regulation Trap   6\tConclusion    5 The “Post-compliance” Moment: Religious Literacy in the Workplace   1\tErnst \u0026amp; Young (EY) – Coexist House   2\tThe Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding   3\tThe “Post-compliance” Moment   4\tConclusion    6 “Labels Can Be a Barrier”: Religious Literacy and the Question of Category   1\t“Religion is Not a Native Category”: Critical Religion and World Religions   2\tNonreligion as the New Frontier of Interreligious Dialogue and the Seeming Solution of Worldviews   3\tConclusion    Conclusion: Reforming Religious Literacy    In Search of the Secular Student Body    Classroom Critiques    Teaching the Secular    Affective Pedagogies    Liberal Habits    Conclusion    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210842071383,"sku":"9789004512931","price":49.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-politics-of-religious-literacy-education-and-emotion-in-a-secular-age-9789004512931","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
