Description
Featuring a unique comparative approach to religious education, the book first explores the importance of studying the styles and methods of religious education within differing social contexts, and it presents modernization, globalization, and postmodernism as key frameworks for such research. Next, central figures and texts in twentieth-century religious education in both Germany and the United States are examined and compared. The last section of the book points out the challenges facing religious education in the new millennium and offers constructive proposals that will interest not only Protestants and Catholics but also members of Jewish, Muslim, and other faith communities.
First Sentence
It is not difficult to point to changes of great significance taking place around the world today, from the emergence of a global economy and new systems of electronic communication to problems of social integration in rapidly changing societies and the hostility to the stranger this lack of cohesion has created.
