A Comprehensive and Limited Approach toward Religion and its Impact on Education

The present article seeks to assess comprehensive and limited approaches towards religion and its impact on the science of education. First of all these two approaches towards religion are carefully studied. Since there is naturally a possible difference between the advocates of every approach, advocates of the comprehensive approach are classed under three names of a) encyclopedic, b) innovative, and c) eclectic, just as the advocates of the limited approach are also divided into three divisions as they stress either a) the other world, b) judgment and purification or, c) indirect involvement. The article finally studies the role of religion in producing educational science on the basis of each one of these attitudes.
