Book Description
William J Wilson, The Christian School in Secular Society, BOOK SUMMARY. In this world, according to Scripture, there are two distinct kingdoms. One is the Kingdom of Grace made up of "the people of the light" and the other is the Kingdom of Nature made up of "the people of this world." The Kingdom of Grace is an eternal kingdom with interests that transcend this world. The Kingdom of Nature focuses only on this world. Schools are powerful instruments that can be used to reflect the interests of either kingdom. In a society that has become secularized there is an urgent need for Christians to increase their efforts to promote, establish and maintain schools that will accurately reflect who they are and where they are going. The Kingdom of Nature has taken full advantage of schools to promote humanistic naturalism. The Kingdom of Grace needs to take equal advantage of schools to promote a biblical understanding of life within the context of the highest spiritual and academic standards.

Religious Education in a Plural, Secularised Society. A Paradigm Shift
Author: Leni Franken
Publisher: Waxmann Verlag
ISBN: 9783830975434
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Many European societies are characterised by increasing forms of secularisation and religious diversity. This results in a paradigm shift with regard to religious education. For a long time, the main aim of religious education was, clearly, to educate children in their own religious tradition. Today, the aims of religious education are much broader: contributing to pupils’ general education (Allgemeinbildung) and preparing them for participation as a citizen in the future, multicultural society. As a result, the following question arises in many countries: how can ‘teaching into religion’ be transformed into or complemented by ‘learning about’ and ‘learning from (the study of) religions’? This book brings several distinguished authors in the field of religious education together to reflect on this paradigm shift. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is rather descriptive and gives an informative and up to date overview of the different discussions about religious education in several European countries. The second part is a normative reflection on the question of how religious education should be organised in plural secularised societies. “This book is very important for the discussion about religious education. Its comparative approach combined with the interdisciplinary dialogue between the different schools in the field of religious education, make this book highly recommendable for everyone who is interested in the state of the art and the future of religious education in Europe.” Didier Pollefeyt, full professor in theology and religious education at the Catholic University of Leuven
