Religious and spiritual education in plural societies are emerging areas in the field of research on learning, development, socialisation and formative practices in various religious and spiritual contexts – an interdisciplinary field in which scholars of religious studies, pedagogy, educational studies, psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, theology and philosophy are engaged.
Religion and spirituality involve multicultural encounters in local and global contexts. Empirical research, however, is a relatively new enterprise. Theory formation is still in progress and cannot evolve into a serious research discipline without empirical research using adequate and valid methodology. The series Research into Religious and Spiritual Education will meet the need for good empirical studies and innovative theoretical concepts. It focuses on schools, families and communities as contexts of religious and spiritual learning and instruction; constraints and opportunities for religious and spiritual development; educational and formative goals and practices for schools with regard to values, beliefs and worldviews; religious and spiritual socialisation within families and communities; and new ways of understanding religion and spirituality as educational fields. It is aimed at theory formation as well as the enhancement of educational practices concerned with religion and spirituality.
The series includes monographs in English as well as edited volumes of articles. In taking various research designs into account, it resembles research traditions all over Europe. All these publications are of uniformly high quality. The series is associated with the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (
www.earli.org), Special Interest Group Religious and Spiritual Education.
