This book examines recent and significant changes in Religious Education (RE) within Catholic schools in England, situating them within broader global debates about curriculum reform.

The book provides a clear overview of why reform has been deemed necessary and offers a critical assessment of the Directory’s theoretical and theological foundations.

It highlights the wider international relevance of developments in England, offering insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in curriculum change within diverse religious and educational contexts.
