| Synopsis: |
Faith schools are in the news all over the world. Are they a good or a bad thing in a modern pluralist society? This volume examines that contemporary debate concerning faith schooling, using a variety of conceptual and educational lenses. Edited by Stephen McKinney this collection provides a scholarly examination of the key themes in the current debate in some depth and detail. The contributions are not written from a particular form of faith schooling but reflect the great variety and diversity in faith schooling across the English speaking world. Each examines the debate from both internal and external perspectives. The first chapter, by the editor, provides an overview of the key features of the contemporary academic debate around faith schools. In the second, Harry Brighouse examines the relationship and coherence between faith schools and the expectations of education within liberal democracy. Mark Halstead, in chapter three, explores the interface between faith schools and citizenship. Maurice Ryan discusses the challenges of including students who are not Catholics in Catholic schools in chapter four.Whilst James Conroy and Bob Davis conclude the volume by postulating possible futures for faith schooling. This is a collection that reflects the international dimension of the debate in the English speaking world. Contributions from leading academics in the UK are complemented by contributions from scholars from America and Australia. As such it will appeal to student teachers preparing to teach in faith schools as well as to educational administrators grappling with a fierce debate. |
