Contemporary Challenges for Religious and Spiritual Education

As religion becomes, once again, a concern for scholars and political thinkers, so too does religious and spiritual education. This book explores the directions being taken in the field of religious education, as new developments challenge the priorities of formal education, and open up new avenues for incorporating religion and spirituality into the modern curriculum. As well as exploring changes to religious education in Europe and Australia, the book provides an insight into the way in which neuroscience can have an effect on the way in which learning environments for religious education are created. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Beliefs & Values.
