Review
'Liam Gearon has given us a book which encourages discussion about the relationship between religious education and citizenship...It is a welcome addition to an area about which relatively little has been written.' - Karen Steele, British Journal of Religious Education

From the Back Cover

Citizenship through Secondary Religious Education highlights some of the key issues surrounding citizenship. Topics selected include those of historical and immediate relevance to teaching citizenship through religious education.

There are chapters covering general critical planning issues and those concentrating on specific themes such as:

* The Open Society and its Enemies
* Planning for Citizenship through Religious Education
* Genocide
* Asylum
* Freedom of Religion and Belief
* Sustainable Development
* The Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Practical in its style, the guidance and resources presented in this book are invaluable if you teach religious education or you are a specialist in citizenship, and is even useful if you teach these as second subjects.
