Rezensionen

From the book reviews:

"Every dimension of this handbook speaks to its breadth and depth. At 670 pages, it is truly encyclopedic. ... The editors are clear about their wish to conduct a rigorous analysis of historical developments in faith-based education, to cast it as a work in progress, and to explore what the future may hold. Without a doubt, they have accomplished this goal. ... researchers and libraries should purchase International Handbook of Learning, Teaching and Leading in Faith-Based Schools." (Ken Badley, Journal of Education and Christian Belief, Vol. 18 (2), 2014)
