Abstract
The article provides an overview of the book Integrative religious education in Europe: A study-of-religions approach (2007). It introduces the notion of 'integrative religious education (RE)', relating to education about different religions in religiously mixed classrooms, as opposed to separative confessional approaches. The article presents some results of my analysis of recent approaches to integrative RE, mainly from England and Sweden. The analysis focuses on aims of integrative RE, the notion of religion and the representation of religions, teaching methods, and the notion of education. Building on recent theory and methodology in the study of religions (Religionswissenschaft) and education, I propose a European framework for integrative RE. The article concludes with a description of recent school-related initiatives in the study of religions at an international level.
