Religious Education, the journal of the Religious Education Association: An Association of Professors, Practitioners, and Researchers in Religious Education, offers a forum for exploring religious identity, formation, and education in faith communities, academic disciplines and institutions, and public life and the global community. Articles consider education in houses of worship, schools, informal programs, and institutions of higher learning involving adults, youth, children, and families. Topics addressed include educational theory, theology, and education; tradition and trends; policy and practice; models and methods; moral values and character education; sacred texts; and spiritual, cultural, and social issues in education. Religious Education seeks original compositions in the following three areas:
Articles – Research, scholarship and insights from practice relating to the intersection of religion and education.
Forum – Essays and responses to articles published within the journal.
Critique – Essays and shorter reviews of significant new titles in books, media and curricula.

Cover Sheet and Author Identification:The cover sheet should contain the paper title, author's name, institutional affiliation, address, phone and fax numbers, and electronic-mail addresses.

Authors of published articles are given permission to photocopy their own article aned subsequently to reprint or publish their articles without royalty charges, provided acknowledgement of original publication in Religious Education is given.

Religious Education does not pay for articles; however, three copies of the issue in which the article appears will be sent to the author. Additionally issues can be purchased by contacting customerservice@taylorandfrancis.com.
