Theology- " In advocating an intelligent, philiosophical
understanding of religious education, this book offers valuable
insights applicable to the reality of today"s RE classrooms."
Comparative Education, Vol 36, No 1, 2000
"This robustly thoughtful book tackles without flinching the main
philosophical issues which confront religious education in Great
Britain, the USA and Australia today. It is not an easy read. Bur
the extent of the authors" background knowledge, their liberality
of mind and the clarity of their exposition make the effort
worthwhile."
Resource, Vol 23, No 3, Summer 2000
"Religious Education in a Pluralist Society is quite simply the
most important book on religious education to have been published
in recent years. With remarkable precision, Hobson and Edwards
tread a path beyond the conservative-progressive impasse that is so
much a feature of current debate. ... The end product is a
philosophical justification of contemporary religious education
that stands head and shoulders above its rivals. ... A persuasive
and stimulating vision of the future of religious education."
The Journal of Educational Thought - " This is a well written, well
thought-out book about teaching religion in public schools...there
is much benefit to be gained in perusing its pages, if only to
become convinced that the avoidance of teaching religious education
in schools severly short-changes students. These authors do a
commendable job of arguing the case for a pedagogically-sound
inclusion of religious education in today"s schools."
Journal of Beliefs and Values
"This is a good guide to the philosophical debate about religious
education in the schools and offers a carefully articulated and
clearly reasoned position.
John Edwards, Peter R. Hobson
