Theology Made in Dignity: On the Precarious Role of Theology in Religious Education. 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 - http://www.peeters-leuven.be/boekoverz.asp?nr=10415
