Professor David William Kim of the College of Liberal Arts, who serves as a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (UK), has published his 12th monograph in the humanities and social sciences field. He has published his 12th monograph (EUR €70.00) alongside 92 peer-reviewed journal articles through Brill Publishers, the oldest (since 1683) and globally renowned European publisher in the humanities and social sciences field.

This new book analyzes the socio-political intersection where education and religion meet in modern society. It encompasses diverse contexts, including Christian education, Jewish education, Islamic perspectives, and Asian religious viewpoints, while extensively covering theoretical, methodological, legal, and historical case studies. It also investigates how these subjects confront various ideological and political concerns.

Public education can be understood as a key arena for shaping future citizens, and the role religion plays in youth education is a contentious issue sparking significant debate and disagreement.
In this regard, by approaching practical problems from multiple angles within diverse academic perspectives and differing social and geographical contexts, it aims to deepen understanding of the diversity, complexity, and importance of discussions about religion in educational contexts. This has earned recognition for new insights from scholars in the fields of education, economics, politics, and religion.

Below is a brief introduction to part of the original text (Religion in Modern Education: Conflict, Economics, and Politics), accompanied by recommendations from Professor Liam Gearon of Oxford University and Professor Daniel Moulin of Cambridge University.

This innovative volume explores the socio-political intersection of education with religion in modern society. The contributions in Religion in Modern Education: Conflict, Economics, and Politics cover a range of case studies including Christian education, Jewish education, Islamic and Asian religious perspectives, as well as their interaction with a variety of ideological and political concerns. Education can be understood as a key site for the production of future citizens, and the role of religion in the education of young people is an issue of considerable discussion and disagreement.
 This collection approaches the issues of religion and education from multiple disciplinary perspectives, and within varied social and geographic contexts, to improve our understanding of the diversity, complexity, and importance of discussions about religion in educational contexts.

The historical relationship between religion and education has been one of the primary drivers of the creation of the modern world as we know it - and has left a complex legacy. Kim and Lovell have succeeded in curating a volume that begins to expose the nuances of this relationship as it manifests in various contexts. This is essential reading both for scholars in the field and those who may still struggle to see the relevance of religion in today’s world.

The editors have produced a distinctively rich volume on religion in modern education. With a distinguished gallery of international authors, they have yet garnered a cohesive and theoretically enlightened set of important case studies to explore their themes of religion’s ever intensified role, one that reaches far beyond the sphere of formal and public education.
