Zusatztext ‘This book offers valuable insights into the concerns of religious educationists during their subject's definitive period of transformation as well as giving a clear account of Gate's own contribution. Gates captures and reflects the humane and liberal spirit of Smart's seminal contribution to religious education. His own approach to issues is thoughtful and balanced and has careful regard to the realities of school life and a concern for the broader personal development of children and young people.'
