Description:	In the past few years there has been an increasing recognition of the importance of the moral, spiritual and religious dimensions of education. This growing awareness presents a critical counterpoint to the emphasis on a concept of education that meets economic needs and values human persons solely in terms of their economic worth. However in such a changing context and a growing pluralist society, questions might arise for teachers around what distinguishes the academic discipline of education from subjects such as ethical or values education, citizenship education and social personal and health education. Anne Hession clearly defines this distinction and presents the Catholic approach to religious education as one important approach to primary religious education. The book divided into three sections, consolidates a vast wealth of academic thought from both within the Catholic church and the wider community. By exploring the topic of religious education from several perspectives including the political, theological and educational, it demonstrates the ways in which Catholic religious education cannot merely survive but flourish in a liberal, multicultural society. Recommended uses for this book Researchers and Lecturers in Religious Education Students of Religious Education Methodology Teachers in the area of Religious Education Writers of Religious Education Curricula Bishops and Priests who have an advisory role in Religious Education
