  Revised and updated, this edition of Teaching Christianity is a tool for today's teacher. Religious education has been a major area of debate in recent years, and the place of Christianity within it has been at the heart of the debate. This text covers the issues raised for teachers, whatever their own standpoints and beliefs, who are involved in teaching pupils about the subject. It does so by seeing Christianity as a world religion, and describes the implications of this vision for teachers, school governors and all who are involved in education. The text is divided into three sections. The first examines major issues in the study of Christianity, the second explores aspects of Christianity that might be taught in the classroom and the third and largest section offers examples of good classroom practice, considering the related issues of method, evaluation and assessment. Contributors are: Alan Brown, Peter Curtis, Peter Doble, Clive Erricker, Cherry Gould, Mary Hayward, Nora Horrigan, David Minton, David Morling, David Naylor, John Rankin, Trevor Shannon, Harry Stephens and Angela Wood.
