| book description |

This innovative volume, edited by David W. Kim and Melissa E. Lovell, explores the socio-political intersection of education with religion in modern society. The contributions in Religion in Modern Education: Conflict, Economics, and Politics cover a range of case studies including Christian education, Jewish education, Islamic and Asian religious perspectives, as well as their interaction wiith a variety of ideological and political concerns. Education can be understood as a key site for the production of future citizens, and the role of religion in the education of young people is an issue of considerable discussion and disagreement. This collection approaches the issues of religion and education from multiple disciplinary perspectives, and within varied social and geographic contexts, to improve our understanding of the diversity, complexity and importance of discussions about religion in educational contexts.
