Day, Katie – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2022

Together with choral music, visual arts, and preaching, Luther, Melanchthon, Oekolampad, and other Reformers promoted both the cultivated school theatre and the popular street theatre in order to spread the new faith, create a community ethos,…

Arold, Benjamin W.; Woessmann, Ludger; Zierow, Larissa – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2022
We study whether compulsory religious education in schools affects students' religiosity as adults.

Using three different datasets, we find that abolishing compulsory religious education significantly reduced…

Honea, Sion M. – Journal of Historical Research in Music Education, 2018
Nicolaus Listenius's "Musica" (1537) proved to be one of the two most successful music textbooks in the Lutheran Latin Schools of the sixteenth century, issued in at least forty-six editions and surviving in use into the next century. Yet, a casual inspection of the book today does not readily yield to modern expectations of a successful…

This paper deals with the disclosure of subaltern thinking in current German-language textbooks for religious education.

Obvious hierarchical relationships from clearly up and down can consequently be made visible and their presumed…
