In this groundbreaking study in the methodology of comparative religious education Oddrun Bråten set out to utilise and test her methodology for comparative religious education. This synthesises three sets of ideas. The first includes supranational, national and subnational processes. The second set of ideas concerns the societal, institutional, instructional and experiential levels of curriculum. They are affected by supranational, national and subnational processes. The third set of ideas includes Bråten's use of Schiffauer and collaborators' concepts of social/national imaginary and civil enculturation.
I truly believe Bråten's methodological model might be considered a template for comparative studies in [Religious Education]. It is transferable to other regions, such as to the Central European context [...]. Reading this book gave me a clear idea of holistic approach to research in RE, and that is why I recommend it to others planning to carry out research in RE.
