520 "This volume provides a detailed evaluation of a unique
education program implemented in secondary schools in
Georgia to enhance teachers' religious literacy and their
ability to promote this in schools and classrooms. The
text demonstrates that religious literacy can be
proactively taught to students, whilst also highlighting
key considerations and tensions around religious liberty
in the American South. Spanning rural, urban, and suburban
Georgia, the text presents an original approach to the
growing field of religious literacy by foregrounding
community voices and perspectives. Using rich empirical
data and qualitative interviews with religious and
political leaders, scholars, teachers, parents, and
students, the book evaluates the challenges, efficacy, and
benefits of the program in view of rising political
polarization. In doing so, the text tackles historical and
contemporary issues around race and religion, and
considers tensions between religious and non-religious
groups in the US. Ultimately, the book presents a
significant contribution to the dialogue around fostering
religious literacy in schools. This text will benefit
researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in
religious education, teacher education, and religious
literacy more broadly. Those interested in the sociology
of education, as well as diversity and religion in America,
will also benefit from this volume."--|cpublisher's
