Religious Education in a Mediatized World
In religious education, digitization and mediatization processes result in the transformation of conventional media formats. This leads to the development of new media formats, which in turn necessitates a redefinition of the relationship between religious education and the media. Keeping this in mind, this volume first examines the importance of media for specific theological disciplines, and then discusses current media-pedagogical and media-didactic approaches. Later in the book, the authors develop didactic perspectives on various methods; these include internet-based archive work and the use of digital teaching materials. They also deal with current questions regarding religious educati...
Human Rights and Religion in Educational Contexts
What is the role of religion(s) in a human rights culture and in human rights education? How do human rights and religion relate in the context of public education? And what can religious education at public schools contribute to human rights education? These are the core questions addressed by this book. Stimulating deliberations, illuminating analyses and promising conceptual perspectives are offered by renowned experts from ten countries and diverse academic disciplines.
Media Power and Religions
Internationally reputed experts write about media and religion: about long neglected topics like human rights, anti-Islamism and anti-Semitism, religions and peace, media ethics/education in pluralistic societies. A helpful orientation with concrete suggestions for journalistic/educational practice, academic research, political/social involvement!
Public Theology Perspectives on Religion and Education
In order to draw out the relationship between publicly-oriented Christianity and education, this book demonstrates that education is an important method and prerequisite of public theology, as well as an urgent object of public theology research’s attention. Featuring work from diverse academic disciplines—including religion education, theology, philosophy, and religious studies—this edited collection also contends with the educational challenges that come with the decline of religion on the one hand and its transformation and regained public relevance on the other. Taken together, the contributions to this volume provide a comprehensive argument for why education deserves systematic attention in the context of public theology discourse, and vice versa.
Public Theology, Religious Diversity, and Interreligious Learning
This book describes the relationship of Christian Public Theology to other religions and their ways of contributing to the common good. It also promotes mutual learning processes in public education to strengthen the public role and responsibility of religions in pluralistic societies. This volume brings together not only public education and public theology, but also scholars from a variety of disciplines such as philosophy, cultural studies, and sociology, and from different parts of the world. By doing so, the book intends to widen the horizon and provide fresh impulses for public theology as well as the discourse on public religious education.

Digitale Medien im Religions- und Ethikunterricht
Bildungsprozesse mit, in und durch digitale Medien etablieren sich zunehmend in der Schule. Die einzelnen Fachdidaktiken stehen vor der Herausforderung, Methoden und Themen, die diesen inhärent sind, für sich zu bewerten und Sinnvolles zu integrieren, indem sie es für das jeweilige Fach entsprechend modifizieren. Der Lehrkraft kommt dabei eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Die vorliegende empirische Arbeit analysiert die Faktoren, die eine Integration digitaler Medien in den Ethik- bzw. Religionsunterricht bedingen, vor dem Hintergrund der jeweiligen Fachdidaktik, um mögliche Handlungsoptionen für die Lehrkräfteausbildung zu benennen.
On the Significance of Religion for Human Rights
This progressive volume furthers the inter-religious, international, and interdisciplinary understanding of the role of religion in the area of human rights. Building bridges between the often-separated spheres of academics, policymakers, and practitioners, it draws on the expertise of its authors alongside historical and contemporary examples of how religion's role in human rights manifests. At the core of the book are four case studies, dealing with Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Authors from each religion show the positive potential that their faith and its respective traditions has for the promotion of human rights, while also addressing why and how it stands in the way of fulfilling this potential. Addressed to policymakers, academics, and practitioners worldwide, this engaging and accessible volume provides pragmatic studies on how religious and secular actors can cooperate and contribute to policies that improve global human rights.
Religious Education in a World of Religious Diversity
This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at the Fifteenth Session of the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values (ISREV), which took place in 2006 in Driebergen, the Netherlands, addressing the theme ‘Religious Education in a World of Religious Diversity’. The authors were invited to combine the concept of diversity with the dimensions of temporality, of time and history in reworking their contributions for this book. This temporal aspect is in a sense inherent in educational thinking. On the one hand education as intergenerational transmission has a conservative aspect: tradition being what is actually and presently transmitted from the past and/or wha...
