Media Reviews
"A significant contribution to the improvement of conversation about religious literacy by insisting that informed debate be the norm rather than a rarity." Lori G Beaman, University of Ottawa
"[This] book is timely, and provides a solid introduction to the field. It should be of interest, not only to scholars and policymakers, but also to anyone concerned about the poverty of current public discourse about religion." British Politics
"[This book] will prove an essential resource for scholars and educators interested in the role of religious literacy in the contemporary scene." Sociology of Religion
“This is a ground-breaking and positive response by relevant experts to questions about the discussion of religion in a wide range of social contexts. Each chapter is thought-provoking, original and clear.” James A. Beckford, University of Warwick
"The aim of the volume is excellent…all the themes will keep experts busy researching and advising for years to come." Church Times
??“A clear and fearless statement that we need to regain a proper conversation about religion and politics in our uncertain age, it provides both the tools and the ideas by which we may begin to have this conversation in public.” Professor Chris Baker, University of Chester and Director of Research, William Temple Foundation
