Discourses of Religion and Secularism in Religious Education Classrooms

Meer over het boek

Exploring the dynamics of Religious Education in Sweden, the book examines how students and teachers engage with religion within a secular framework. Through participant observation in upper secondary schools, it analyzes classroom discourses and the role of nonconfessional education in a diverse society. Key themes include the interplay of secularism, spirituality, and nationalism, alongside the evolution of Religious Education and its relevance in a pluralistic context. The findings offer insights into the complexities of teaching religion in a largely secular environment.
