English Editorial

„Theo-Web. Academic Journal of Religious Education“ aims at promoting research and academic discourse in the field of religious education.

It publishes contributions on all aspects of religious education, all locations of religious education and on theoretical issues of the academic discipline of religious education. The contributions may and should refer to the practice of religious education, but should be academic in character, reflecting empirical research, hermeneutical analyses or theoretical discourse. The journal includes regular book reviews. For English-speaking readers every issue offers an "Editorial and Summary in English".
