In Defence of Religious Schools and Colleges bridges the gap between philosophical argument and educational practice. It will be of interest not only to philosophers and educational theorists but also to practitioners in education. Academics, policy makers, political theorists, lay-people, teachers, administrators, and parents - those who object to religious schools and colleges and those who find themselves trying to answer the objections - will benefit from reading this book. 606 $aReligious education$xPhilosophy 606 $aPluralism 606 $aLiberalism$xReligious aspects 615 0$aReligious education$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPluralism. 615 0$aLiberalism$xReligious aspects. 676 $a371.07/01 700 $aThiessen$b Elmer John$f1942-$01485880 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783797003321 996 $aIn defence of religious schools and colleges$93705167 997 $aUNINA
