Just what are we talking about, anyway? -- Why this civil conversation is urgent -- A historical map of the present situation -- Religion and education : the pitfalls of engaging a complex issue -- Why religion belongs in publicly funded elementary and secondary education -- The religious schooling response -- Church-related higher education and the common good -- Public universities and graduate education -- Religion and higher education : a specific agenda for advancing the conversation -- After listening, a time to act.
Review: "Martin Marty offers this book as a tool to "get started thinking" about religion in public, private, and denominational education at every level from kindergarten to postgraduate education. The book recreates a variety of questions and opinions from elementary and secondary school teachers, administrators, professor, and scholars. It wades fearlessly, with great respect and good humor, into the complicated crosscurrents of these controversial subjects."--Jacket.
