Many questions arise regarding the compatibility between scientific and religious education.

Nestby, Dag Hallvard – British Journal of Religious Education, 2023
In this article I contribute to the scholarly discussion on how minority religions and world-views could be represented in the RE subject of Norwegian primary and lower secondary school.

Hammer, Aina – British Journal of Religious Education, 2023
How to address controversial issues in schools is a recurring question for researchers and teachers alike.

Agarwal, Yamini – British Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Religious minority schools are seen to take on the task of transmitting the normative image of a community, its ideology and culture. Through pedagogy and daily routine practices, schools seek to shape students' ideas of a religion and ways in which it is to be performed. This paper, based on ethnography of a Sikh school in Delhi, explores such…

Milerski, Boguslaw; Zielinski, Tadeusz J. – British Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Under Communism, the Catholic Church in Poland played the role of guarantor of preserving the national traditions and defender of freedom. Such was one of reasons for removing religion from the state school curriculum by the government of Poland in 1961. The political transformation of 1989 changed the concept of the Polish state. Religion as a…

Carmody, Brendan – British Journal of Religious Education, 2023
Religious Education in Zambia and perhaps more widely needs to become more aware of how religion is expressed culturally. 'Learning about' religion or religions, which is a common practice, has limited value. It needs a 'learning from' dimension. It will be contended that this 'learning from' has been extensively neglected in Zambia. A key reason…
