Crisis, Controversy and the Future of Religious Education
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-37338-2 (ISBN)
The book is critical, wide-ranging and provocative, giving attention to a range of responses, some limited to the particular situation of religious education in England and some of wider application, for example, that of the role and significance of human rights and that of the relevance of religious studies and theology to religious education. It engages with a variety of positions and with recent influential reports that make recommendations on the future direction of religious education. Constructively, it defends both confessional and non-confessional religious education and endorses the existing right of parental withdrawal. Controversially, it concludes that the case for including non-religious worldviews in religious education, and for the introduction of a statutory, ‘objective’ national religious education curriculum for all schools, are both unconvincing on educational, philosophical and evidential grounds.
Timely and captivating, this book is a must-read for religious and theological educators, RE advisers, classroom teachers, student teachers and those interested in the field of religious education.
L. Philip Barnes is Emeritus Reader in Religious and Theological Education, King’s College London. He is the author of Education, Religion and Diversity: Developing a New Model of Religious Education (2014), also published by Routledge.
