This timely and comprehensive volume delves into the ongoing discussions surrounding the transition from the teaching of religious education (RE) to the more holistic subject of Religion and Worldviews (R&W) in England. It offers valuable insights and sets forth criteria for best practices among educators in diverse settings, both domestically and internationally. By examining a range of empirical sources, governmental reports, and the 2018 final report from the Commission on Religious Education (CORE), the book proposes essential principles to guide this transition and ensure that R&W is effectively integrated into curricula, pedagogy, and teaching resources.

The volume pays particular attention to the conceptualization of R&W, emphasizing its intersections with democratic citizenship education, intercultural competence, and religious literacy. By doing so, it provides a rich and nuanced understanding of the subject matter.

This text is of immense value to researchers, academics, and educators with a keen interest in religious education, teacher education, as well as the broader fields of philosophy and sociology of education. It will also be of interest to those engaged in education policy and politics, as well as citizenship and schooling in the UK.

The book's comprehensive coverage and insightful analysis make it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and navigate the evolving landscape of religious education and its implications for education and society.
