Viac o knihe

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.
