Description
Educating Believers: Religion and School Choice explores the complex relationships between religion, schooling, and society. This collection of essays examines key issues in religious pluralism in education, including the history of state-faith relationships, the role of faith in motivating teachers, and the impact of different educational approaches on tolerance. The book draws on empirical studies and theoretical insights from leading researchers to shed light on the ways in which religion shapes our understanding of schooling and civic values. By exploring these connections, Educating Believers offers valuable guidance for scholars and educators seeking to understand the role of faith in education and its implications for public policy. Originally published in the Journal of School Choice, this volume provides a timely and thought-provoking contribution to ongoing debates about the nature of education and its relationship to broader social and cultural contexts.
