Sommario/riassunto

This study offers a comparative analysis of religious education and state policies toward religious education in seven different countries and in the European Union as a whole. The book simply and directly challenges a major question through different studies - the question of religious education acting as a vehicle for civic enculturation and the creation of ties of belonging and meaningful solidarity across different ethnic and religious communities in the contemporary world.
