In light of the growing interest in understanding human activity and its motivations, this authoritative handbook delves into the complex and evolving academic fields of religion and values.

Organized around four key themes, the book addresses the importance of religion and values both as broad fields of human inquiry and in their application to various sectors, such as education, inter-agency work, and cross-cultural efforts. The topics covered include:
