ISREV as an organisation has stimulated the publication of the following volumes:

Wilna A.J. Meijer, Siebren Miedema, Alma Lanser-van der Velde (Eds), Religious Education in a World of Religious Diversity (Münster/New York/München/Berlin: Waxmann, 2009, 218 pages, pb., € 24,90, ISBN 978-3-8309-2193-6).
This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at the Fifteenth Session of the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values (ISREV), which took place in 2006 in Driebergen, the Netherlands, addressing the theme ’Religious Education in a World of Religious Diversity‘.
The authors were invited to combine the concept of diversity with the dimensions of temporality, of time and history in reworking their contributions for this book. This temporal aspect is in a sense inherent in educational thinking. On the one hand education as intergenerational transmission has a conservative aspect: tradition being what is actually and presently transmitted from the past and/or what is considered worthwhile to be passed on. On the other hand, acknowledging the activity of students themselves as a prerequisite for any education to happen, brings the open-endedness and therefore the future into the pedagogical arena in terms of development, learning, reflection, edification, et cetera.
So, the question answered in this volume is what does this inherent historicity mean for religious education as well as for (the concept) religion and religious diversity? In answering this question the contributions represent the global character of the concern with religious diversity in relation to religious education, and originate respectively from the following countries: Canada (Bhikkhu, English), United States (Moran), Latvia (Ilishko), Russia (Kozyrev), Germany (Pirner), South Africa (Roux, du Preez, Ferguson), Japan (Omori), Australia (de Souza), Turkey (Selçuk), and the Netherlands (Meijer, Miedema).

Do religions and religious education intend peace or violence, and which of these ends do these activities really serve? While many claim that religion is responsible for most of the violence that currently poisons the peace of peoples and nations, and some seek a moratorium on religious education as a necessary preliminary to creating a peaceful society, the authors of these essays contend that religious education itself can be a force for peace. Certainly, issues of peace and violence should be of central concern to those who teach and explore religion and its communication.

Religious diversity, religious enthusiasm, and religious misunderstanding remain at the heart of so much social, economic and political conflict in the world today. Never before has religious education been so important. In this climate, religious educators have become increasingly aware of the significance of listening to the religious perceptions of adolescents, using the best research techniques pioneered by the empirical social sciences, including sociology, psychology, and anthropology. This collection of innovative and pioneering empirical studies, sponsored by the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values, draws together Christian, Islamic, and Jewish perspectives from England, Germany, Israel, Norway, Turkey and Wales.
