This volume A Pluralist We in Religious Education: Old Narratives in New Contexts is the
result of a conference held at Nord University Bodø Norway by a group of scholars (ENRECA)
focusing on religious and value education particularly religious plurality and diversity in
Europe. The publication explores the complex issue of religious identity formation in the 21st
century addressing the intersectional nature of identity through different narratives. The
contributions in this volume address issues of contextualisation by discussing how narratives
of different kinds can be part of educational processes. Contexts in general are difficult to
grasp and to deal with theoretically without examples. Even in research where narratives and
their different interpretations are central there is often a need for exemplification in case
studies. The use and study of narratives for specific pedagogical political and ethical
purposes are manifold as this volume shows. The volume includes discussions on the
educational challenges of a multi-religious Europe interreligious dialogue and perspectives
from different religious traditions including contributions from South African and Turkish
Muslim scholars.
