Abstract
In this book, we argue that the spiritual life/religious life partly constitutes human flourishing and that religious education can have an important role to play in cultivating a spiritual way of being. We acknowledge the potential contribution that different religions and faith traditions can make toward a young persons spiritual growth, without asserting that spirituality is impossible independent of a religion.
