Description
Summary:This paper begins with a discussion of the internal plurality of Christianity and the issue of selection in the study of religion, before moving to a consideration of the subjective dimension of religious learning. It is argued that a truly dialogical education must allow for the “risk” of conversion, particularly in moral and religious education. The paper attempts to relate this claim to questions of tolerance and respect in educational settings.
