Synopsis

This book is an extensive examination of the state of religious education at the turn of the 20th Century. The author delves into philosophical, practical, and historical contexts of religious education, especially the role of the state. He positions the need for religious education within broader societal trends and concerns, such as the pursuit of materialism and the increasing secularization of public life. While recognizing the importance of individual faith and study, the author strongly advocates for the state to play an active role in promoting religious education within public schools, arguing that its benefits to society and the individual far outweigh any objections. The book concludes with a passionate plea for greater cooperation and tolerance among religious denominations, expressing an optimistic hope for the future of religious education.
