(2021) European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI), Sig 19: "Place of Religion in Education" p.1-5- Abstract
- The aim of the present paper is to explore the interrelated and complex relationships between religionsvetenskap (Religious Studies), religionskunskap (Religious Education) and religionsdidaktik (Religion and Education).

The emergence of religionsdidaktik (Religion and Education) as a growing field of research will then be discussed and situated within this complex matrix, and various opportunities and challenges for the field will be explored. Lastly, demarcation problems between and identity production of Religious Studies and Theology will be discussed. How might these tensions and positionalities affect Religion and Education as it expands? Will scholars of Religion and Education have to address some of these issues, and if so, how might it do so?
