The Problem of Language in Religious Education

The book exposes and analyzes some of the problems of religious education and presents religious language as a fundamental basis of any authentic religious dialogue and pedagogy. It goes further and discusses practical questions like: the metamorphosis of religion, the spiritual dimension of mankind; the erosion of faith and religious practices; Folk faith syndrome; the sickness of religious education; etc. The study repudiates the view that religion is in decline. The conclusion is simple - we need appropriate religious language which truly conveys meanings of religious truths. 155 Seiten, broschiert (Beiträge zur Erziehungswissenschaft und biblischen Bildung; Vol. 3/Peter Lang Verlag 1998) Mängelexemplar/near mint
