Teaching Religious Education
Challenges, Developments and Current Debates in Comparative Perspective
Series:
Editor:
Historically, religious education has often been seen as a tool for reinforcing cultural and religious identity. However, as the world becomes more interconnected and religious diversity grows within national borders, RE has increasingly been called upon to play a different roleâone that fosters understanding and peaceful coexistence among people of different faiths and worldviews. The volume Teaching Religious Education: Challenges, Developments, and Current Debates in Comparative Perspective delves into these complexities, offering a comprehensive exploration of how religious education is taught, debated, and implemented across a diverse range of countries, challenging the Eurocentric focus of much existing research on religious education.
Maria Lucenti, Ph.D. (2017), University of Genoa and University of Carthage, is Assistant Professor of History of Education at the University of Genoa. Among her publications: Women in Formal and Informal Education: International Comparative Perspectives in the History of Education (Brill, 2023).
