		Religious Diversity and Education in Europe 
		Vol 41
  All contributions to the volume were developed in the 
		context of the European Network for Religious Education through 
		Contextual Approaches (ENRECA). In the 20 year history of the research 
		community of ENRECA several times books are published on contextual 
		factors of Religious Education. This volume has a special focus on 
		different perspectives of ‘time’ in relation to the tradition, present 
		and future perspectives of Religious Education in Europe.During the 20 
		year history of the European Network for Religious Education through 
		Contextual Approaches (ENRECA), several books have been published on the 
		Subject of Religious Education, from sociological, psychological or 
		anthropological perspectives and always in the contextual Settings of 
		national educational frameworks and other specific culturally bound 
		phenomena. Also, very often, an international comparative perspective 
		was included. The shared goal was not so much to reflect on religion as 
		such, and on its changing doctrines, institutions and prescriptions, but 
		to try and understand religion in the specific European contexts of 
		secularization and the plurality of life orientations, and to understand 
		how religion becomes manifest in education in a variety of concrete 
		policies and classroom practices, reflecting various social issues. 
		 This volume, marking the 20th anniversary of ENRECA, has a specific 
		focus on the contextual dimension of time.

		Religious Diversity and Education in Europe 
		Vol 30
 
  The speed, scale and spread of international migration 
		and globalisation have firmly placed the issue of intercultural dialogue 
		at the top of the educational agenda in Europe and elsewhere. In this 
		book, Skrefsrud sheds light on intercultural dialogue as a key 
		competence for teachers working in changing and diverse classrooms. In 
		the first part, the notion of dialogue is explored with the theory of 
		culture, religion and communication as the focus. In the second part, 
		Skrefsrud analyses the government-initiated curriculum framework for 
		teacher education in Norway and discusses the preconditions for 
		intercultural dialogue in educational policies. The analysis illustrates 
		how difficult it is to make issues of difference permeate all aspects of 
		teacher preparation.
