International Knowledge Transfer in Religious Education

The contributions discuss a number of issues, among others related to the validity and transferability of knowledge in religious education. Thus, the book takes up a topic which so far has remained implicit and therefore also untreated.

This approach implies a whole spectrum of new methodological and epistemological problems. Some crucial questions that are discussed in the chapters from different national contexts are:

– How can the national and the international context be productively connected to each other?

– Which concept or understanding of ›international‹ should be used when it comes to the transfer of knowledge?

– What exactly is meant by ›knowledge‹ in religious education?

– What does ›transfer‹ mean in this context?

The scope of the book is an invitation to other colleagues to take part in and to continue the discussion.
