Abstract
ABSTRACT This article is a philosophical and theological exploration of the role of the ineffable as one of the central features that religion and religious traditions can bring to schooling. The ineffable is described as itself related to the uncommunicable and the uncommunicated – in all of life and specifically in schools. Drawing especially on Anglophone and Polish sources, the conclusion of the article draws on Moore’s earlier account of ineffability and mystery in schools, to make a case for this as one of the most significant of the ‘gifts’ that religious traditions may offer to schooling – including to secular schooling.
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.
