Faith, Hype, and Clarity: Teaching About Religion in American Schools and Colleges (Advances in contemporary educational thought series ; v. 22)

Robert Nash tackles one of today's most difficult and controversial topics, religion in American schools. Nash deftly employs his own classroom experience to achieve a balanced presentation and comprehensive analysis of four different religious fundamentalist, prophetic, alternative spiritualities, and post-atheist. This ground-breaking volume is a practical pedagogical tool for teachers who want to deal intelligently and responsibly with religion in the classroom. Several years ago, Paul Kurtz (1986) wrote a very controversial book, The Transcendental Temptation: A Critique of Religion and the Paranormal.
