Synopsis
Can religious ideas be taught in public schools without breaking the law or alienating belief groups? This provocative volume tackles a central education question with calm, careful reasoning.
This thoughtful discussion places the problem at the heart of American schooling. It surveys the need for religious understanding in a pluralist society, while tracing the historical relationship between church, state, and classroom. The work argues for a framework that distinguishes core spiritual ideas from sectarian detail, and it proposes practical approaches to religious instruction that respect constitutional boundaries.
What you’ll explore in this edition:- Key questions and definitions about teaching religion in public schools.
- Arguments for including religious awareness in education while avoiding bias or proselytizing.
- Historical context from primitive belief through the Renaissance and Reformation to modern schooling.
- Proposed organizational ideas, including collaboration with religious communities to serve all students.
