"If I were running a national education system...this book would be a precise tool in navigating some reefs of sectarian difference. For a foreign office education attaché, it would certainly assist in evading many cultural faux pas across a curiously wide range of diplomatic postings. For university religious studies professors and education systems/policy researchers, this is a mustread."--International Journal of Christianity and Education

"This is an important collection of essays that juxtaposes religious education in countries rarely ever juxtaposed in this fashion. More than showcasing different countries, the juxtaposition offers significant, and at times even startling, insights about religious education as a particularly contested site, which in turn reveals the fluidity of identity across different facets of belonging, and community that don't always fit easily together. An impressive work that should be read by anyone interested in how education centrally features in current debates about law, religion, and politics." --Anver M. Emon, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto

"The case studies editor Seligman (Boston Univ.; founding director, Communities Engaging with Difference and Religion) has collected in this volume demonstrate the difficulties of education for citizenship in pluralist Europe, Cyprus, Bulgaria, France, Israel, Turkey, Malaysia, and the US. The authors also move past description to suggest a way beyond the separation of sacred and secular spheres: education for knowledge about one another for the purpose of common action in 'shared civil life.'" --CHOICE

"This is an edited volume rich in analysis and written with authority... This is a book for anyone interested in the role of religion in culture and education, and one to which such readers might usefully return for reference, especially the continental studies of Europe and America." --Journal of Church and State
