«‘What Schools Teach Us about Religious Life’ inspires a vision of understanding, openness, acceptance, and peace. The author gives power to the people, especially those who might consider themselves ‘highly educated’, to take stock, reflect, ask questions, listen deeply, and go beyond stereotypes to seek common ground in the midst of incredible diversity. [...] This book provides a beautiful and complex snapshot of religion in America and may serve as an important guide in our continued quest to understand ourselves, and each other better.» (Heidi Olivadoti, Journal of Education and Christian Belief 18.2, 2014)

What Schools Teach Us about Religious Life

von Daniel R. Heischman
This book will attempt, through an in-depth investigation of eight private schools, representing a wide variety of traditions (including non-sectarian as well as sectarian schools), to show how schools are telling reflections of the changing religious landscape of our country. It will also seek to demonstrate that these schools are important guideposts in the process of understanding that landscape, and how institutions with a clear commitment can embrace a pluralistic constituency. The degree to which they are able to balance both tradition and contemporary reality can teach us a great deal about not only how to be more fluent in our religious literacy, but how to be better citizens in an increasingly complex world.
