- Summary
- "Martin Marty offers this book as a tool to "get started thinking" about religion in public, private, and denominational education at every level from kindergarten to postgraduate education. The book recreates a variety of questions and opinions from elementary and secondary school teachers, administrators, professor, and scholars. It wades fearlessly, with great respect and good humor, into the complicated crosscurrents of these controversial subjects."--Jacket.
