Andrew Wright is a Lecturer at King's College London. His previous publications include Learning to Teach Religious Education in the Secondary School, published by RoutledgeFalmer.
'This is a significant book which will certainly become a standard
text for spiritual education in British schools. Wright has thought
more carefully than most about the theoretical issues at stake in
these debates.' - Jeff Astley, International Journal of Education
and Religion
'Andrew Wright ... offers a masterly introduction to a topic that
is in danger of becoming obscured by ambiguity, confusion,
diversity and incompatible yet hidden assumptions. His book is a
model of clarity and balance, aided by soud organization and a very
helpful layout ... It makes a major contribution to the field and
can be recommended without hesitation to all those interested in
spirituality and education.' - John Sullivan, Heythrop Journal,
July 2002
