Glanzer, Perry L.; Cockle, Theodore F.; Martin, Jessica; Alexander, Scott – Religious Education, 2023
Faith-based colleges and universities in America have historically been described as "church-related."

Jeynes, William H. – Religious Education, 2015
There is no question that the 21st century has thus far been one of increased tensions between the West and the Middle East, former Soviet bloc nations, China, and various other nations.

Jennings, Willie James – Religious Education, 2017
A teaching life can be a powerful intervention into the structures of racial antagonism that shape the West, but only if we can find a way to overturn our colonial legacies and draw the dominant trajectories of Western educational institutions toward more life giving ends. A life that teaches in this racially agonistic moment must be angled in a…

In "Education, liberation and the church," Paulo Freire uses the metaphor of "apprenticeship" to describe a form of liberative education for people of faith who begin to discover the ways in which they benefit from the systemic oppression of other human beings. As depicted in ten oral history interviews conducted with the…

Noaparast, Khosrow Bagheri; Khosravi, Zohreh – Religious Education, 2011
The article argues that even though deconstruction has indications for action in religious education, the action should be subordinated to the notion of deconstruction as event. Three strategies can be used in the curriculum of religious education inspired by deconstruction. The first strategy is to emphasize the spirit of religion as different…
