Religion and Educational Research

Religious education is always a local or regional practice. This is evident in the studies in the present volume on religion and education. The Production and the transfer of knowledge in this field are particular and take place in certain historical contexts, so that both can be understood as historical processes. With regard to these theoretical assumptions, the authors of the present volume deliver case studies concerning religious education research in Germany, Ireland, Sweden, Argentina, as well as other countries.
