This book, which is the result of a great effort, addresses higher religious education in England by focusing on university and higher religious education in England in the context of its historical background and its relationship with mainland Europe. The book, a blend of theory and practice, compares two different models, England and Turkey, representing two different worlds. Knowledge of history creates wisdom, as the famous historian Hastings Rashdall said 13 decades ago: "In education, as in other matters, some knowledge of the past is a condition of practical wisdom in the present".
