O knihe

American Evangelicals and Religious Diversity is a qualitative study of how religion and education intersect at one conservative
Christian school. The school is Evangelical and American. The school's curriculum is bible-based and fulfills its state's
educational requirements for high school graduation. While the school has an environment that is Evangelical, the students
live in a religiously-diverse world. This book documents how three students and their teacher struggle to understand a world
that challenges their faith. The context for this understanding is how the teacher presents and the three students come to understand
Catholicism, Islam, and the indigenous religions of the Americas.
Americans continue to debate whether religious schools are too parochial and do not prepare students to live a diverse society.
It is the opinion of the editors that this book should put to rest some of this fear. We read the manuscript with a critical editorial
eye but found the story a compelling one which challenged us to review the tenets of our own faith. The author's style of presentation
is consistent with good scientific discourse yet impels the reader to a view inside the experience of the subjects of the
study. Reading the manuscript was not only an informative experience but a faith affirming one too. We are very pleased to
present Kevin Taylor's book, American Evangelicals and Religious Diversity as an important part of our series on research on
religion and education.
