International authorities Arthur and Lovat have brought together experts from across the world to examine the complexity of the field of study. The handbook is organised around four key topics, which focus on both the importance of religion and values as broad fields of human enquiry, as well as in their application to education, inter-agency work and cross-cultural endeavours:
-The Conceptual World of Religion and Values
-Religion and Values in Education
-Religion and Values in Inter-agency Work
-Religion and Values in Cross-cultural Work.
This comprehensive reference work combines theoretical and empirical research of international significance, and will be valuable reading for students, researchers and academics in the field of education.
James Arthur is Head of the School of Education at the University of Birmingham, UK, and the Director of the Jubilee Centre for Character and Values, UK.
Terence Lovat is a Professor Emeritus and former Pro Vice-Chancellor in Education and Arts at the University of Newcastle, Australia, and a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, UK.
