Description: "Religious diversity, religious enthusiasm and religious misunderstanding remain at the heart of so much social, economic and political conflict in the world today. In this climate, religious educators have become increasingly aware of the significance of listening to the religious perceptions of adolescents, using the best research techniques pioneered by the empirical social sciences, including sociology, psychology and anthropology." "This collection of studies, sponsored by the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values, draws together Christian, Islamic and Jewish perspectives from England, Germany, Israel, Norway, Turkey and Wales."--Jacket.
