Religious diversity, religious enthusiasm and religious misunderstanding remain at the heart of so much social, economic and political conflict in the world today. Never before has religious education been so important.
In this climate, religious educators have become increasingly aware of the significance of listening to the religious perceptions of adolescents, using the best research techniques pioneered by the empirical social sciences, including sociology, psychology and anthropology.
This collection of innovative and pioneering empirical studies, sponsored by the International Seminar of Religious Education and Values, draws together Christian, Islamic and Jewish perspectives from England, Germany, Israel, Norway, Turkey and Wales.
