Series: Bloomsbury Handbooks

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Schools and Religion provides the first truly global scan of contemporary issues and debates around the world regarding the relationship(s) between the state,

schools and religion. Organized around specific contested issues — from whether or not mindfulness should be practised in schools, to appropriate and inappropriate religious attire in schools, to long-term battles about evolution, sexuality, and race, to public funding — Fraser-Pearce and Fraser carefully curate chapters by leading experts exploring these matters and others in a diverse range of national settings. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Schools and Religion offers a refreshingly new international perspective.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Schools and Religion

An amazing, deep and convincing [critical] analysis of an interplay between religion and state in a single book. In sum, this is a must read for instructors, students and all those who have the interest to know more about the relation between state and religion from the global perspective. * Samuel Awuah-Nyamekye, Professor of Religion and Environment, University of Cape Coast, Ghana * Education about religion (religious studies) and for religion (faith formation) is practiced around the globe though implementation can differ markedly depending upon cultural context. This volume pulls together cross-national case studies to illuminate these differences, as well as commonalities, all in the service of improved practice through enriched understanding. * Michael D. Waggoner, Professor of Education, University of Northern Iowa, USA *
