Beginning with 1944 Butler Act and ending with the DFE Circular of 1994 which was issued to advance the religious education provision in England's 1988 Education Reform Act, Teaching Religion addresses the complex interactions between religious thinkers, religious educators, and politicians, and, using Britain as an example, explores the thesis that the way religion is handled within a national education system can offer insights into the mores and values of society. |
