Routledge Public Theology Perspectives on Religion and Education

Explore the complex connection between publicly-oriented Christianity and the field of education. This edited collection from the Routledge Research in Religion and Education series examines how education serves as both a method and a prerequisite for public theology. As the role of religion shifts in modern society, this book addresses the specific educational challenges caused by the decline of religious influence and its subsequent transformation into new forms of public relevance. This academic resource brings together diverse perspectives from several disciplines, including theology, philosophy, religious studies, and religion education. It is designed for researchers and students seeking to understand how religious thought interacts with educational systems and public life. By examining these relationships, the text provides a deep look at how theology remains an urgent object of research within the evolving landscape of contemporary education.
