In a post-secular society contemporaries are challenged to raise and
face existential questions in the midst of a plurality of (religious and
non-religious) worldviews. Children, adolescents and young adults are
especially eager for orientation in negotiating this plurality.
Religious Education in European schools can provide them with solid
insights and a safe space to accept this challenge. In this book the
narrative, communicative and spiritual dimensions of religious education
are discussed. In the act of theologizing with children, adolescents and
young adults, “in each other’s presence” and with a view to wisdom
traditions, they are empowered to patiently engage in new ways.
Alternative patterns of framing identity and community, experience and
interpretation, transcendence and immanence, can then emerge. The book
is rooted in the teaching praxis of the author and reaches out to the
centers of initial teacher education, where future leaders learn to
discover the theological dignity of religious education.
