Short, succinct, digestible chunks of information, perfect for any busy teacher. Plenty of gold nuggets to benefit from here. -- Claire Clinton * Religious Education Advisor, RE Matters, @ClaireClinton67 *
Crisply written and laden with ideas, this book condenses pedagogies, disciplinary perspectives, key theologies and the place of RE in the curriculum into easily accessible summaries. An absolute gift to the RE community. -- Mary Myatt * Education adviser, speaker and author, @MaryMyatt *
This book brings to the fore many of the pressing matters that lie before us currently as RE teachers, regardless of where we are in our RE careers. -- Dr Patricia Hannam * County Inspector/Adviser: RE, History & Philosophy *
