Abstract
ABSTRACT Religious Education in Zambia and perhaps more widely needs to become more aware of how religion is expressed culturally. ‘Learning about’ religion or religions, which is a common practice, has limited value. It needs a ‘learning from’ dimension. It will be contended that this ‘learning from’ has been extensively neglected in Zambia. A key reason for this is Religious Education’s embodiment in a Western cultural framework. With movement towards ‘learning from’, but approached though Lonergan’s intellectual conversion, Religious Education should enable the student to become more sensitive to different forms of the cultural expression of religion and so enhance his/her capacity to understand religion authentically.
期刊介绍：
The British Journal of Religious Education (BJRE) is an international peer-reviewed journal which has a pedigree stretching back to 1934 when it began life as Religion in Education. In 1961 the title was changed to Learning for Living, and the present title was adopted in 1978. It is the leading journal in Britain for the dissemination of international research in religion and education and for the scholarly discussion of issues concerning religion and education internationally. The British Journal of Religious Education promotes research which contributes to our understanding of the relationship between religion and education in all phases of formal and non-formal educational settings. BJRE publishes articles which are national, international and transnational in scope from researchers working in any discipline whose work informs debate in religious education. Topics might include religious education policy curriculum and pedagogy, research on religion and young people, or the influence of religion(s) and non-religious worldviews upon the educational process as a whole.
