Synopsis

'Teaching Religion' remains the only book to chart the course of religious education in England and Wales in the period 1944 to 2007. It is an indispensable guide for teachers, students and all those interested in the history and politics of religious education.This newly updated edition sets changes in religious education against a backcloth of social, historical and educational developments. Through a judicious use of documentary sources, including interviews with key policy makers and practitioner experiences, Copley explores the interaction between religious thinkers, religious educators and politicians.In examining the transition of religious education from Cinderella status to rising star of the curriculum at a time when institutional religion in the UK experienced massive decline, this book explores the suggestion that how we handle religion within the national education system can offer insights into the sort of society we aspire to be.
