Umschlagtext
Religion is on the European agenda again. The secularisation paradigm has lost its explanatory power and the newly coined term ‘post-secularism’ is used to describe the realisation that in the current social transformation, religion cannot be ignored any longer.

The quantitative study presented in this book is part of the research effort by the REDCo project. REDCo is the abbreviation for "Religion in Education. A contribution to Dialogue or a Factor of Conflict in Transforming Societies of European Countries." The project brought together nine research teams from eight European countries: England, Estonia, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Russia and Spain. The research involved interdisciplinary cooperation between specialists in the different academic fields of education, religious education, sociology, political science, anthropology, psychology, theology and religious studies.

The book offers valuable interpretations and inspirations on the question how the students in the 14 – 16 year age group in Europe see the (ir)relevance of religions for dialogue and conflict in their daily lives, in the school environment, and in society as a whole.

The young respondents of the quantitative study are clearly aware that the diversity of religious and non-religious worldviews is the reality of the European contexts they have to manage within. Most of them are convinced that religion must be addressed in schools, as it is too important as factor in social life, and for the coexistence of people from different cultural and religious backgrounds throughout Europe, to be ignored.
Rezension
Welche Rolle spielt Religion im Globalisierungszeitalter im Leben, in der ERziehung und in der Gesellschaft von Jugendlichen? Dieser englischsprachige Band bietet dsbzgl. eine quantitative europäische Studie: Wie sehen 14-16 jährige Europäer die (Ir)Relevanz von Religion für ihr tägliches Leben, die Schule und die Gesellschaft als Ganze? Das 21. Jhdt. entwickelt sich zum Jahrhundert der definitiven Globalisierung und Pluralisierung; Multikulturalität und Interreligiosität werden damit zum gesellschaftlichen Standard. Damit stehen auch bisherige Strategien und Konzeptionen religiöser Bildung und Erziehung auf dem Prüfstand. Die Vielfalt der Religionen stellt vor neue pädagogische Herausforderungen.

Religious Diversity and Education in Europe
Cok Bakker, Hans-Günter Heimbrock, Robert Jackson, Geir Skeie, Wolfram Weisse

Globalisation and plurality are influencing all areas of education, including religious education. The inter-cultural and multi-religious situation in Europe demands a re-evaluation of the existing educational systems in particular countries as well as new thinking at the broader European level. This new book series is committed to the investigation and reflection on the changing role of religion and education in Europe. Contributions will evaluate the situation, reflect on fundamental issues and develop perspectives for better policy making and pedagogy, especially in relation to practice in the classroom. The publishing policy of the series is to focus on the importance of strengthening pluralist democracies through stimulating the development of active citizenship and fostering greater mutual understanding through intercultural education. It pays special attentions to the educational challenges of religious diversity and conflicting value systems in schools and in society in general. Religious Diversity and Education in Europe is produced by two European research groups, in which scholars are engaged in empirical and theoretical research on aspects of religion and education in relation to intercultural issues: * ENRECA: The European Network for Religious Education in Europe through Contextual Approaches * REDCo: Religion in Education. A contribution to Dialogue or a factor of Conflict in transforming societies of European Countries The series is aimed at teachers, researchers and policy makers. The series is committed to involving practitioners in the research process and includes books by teachers and teacher educators who are engaged in research as well as academics from various relevant fields, professional researchers and PhD students. It is open to authors committed to these issues, and it includes English and German speaking monographs as well as edited collections of papers. Book proposals should be directed to one of the editors or to the publisher.
