Description: "This text comprises a collection of essays examining religious experience and tradition. The first part of the work focuses on the nature and sources of authority in each of six major religions and considers how freedom is perceived and achieved by them. It goes on to examine the religious contexts of two examples of nations divided within themselves, Northern Ireland and Israel. The book's second section looks at the process of education, the tensions between freedom and authority within this, and their implications for religious education."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
