Was schreiben Schulbücher zum Thema Reformation? Wie deuten sie das Wirken Martin Luthers? Wie stellen sie die Rolle der katholischen Kirche dar und wie nehmen sich Museen, Romane und andere Manifestationen der Geschichtskultur des Themas an? Das Buch reflektiert die Antworten auf diese Fragen im Licht geschichtsdidaktischer Diskurse. Es zeigt zudem, wie ehemals sozialistische Länder nach 1989/1991 das Thema neu entdeckten, und reißt mit zwei asiatischen Sichtweisen die globale Dimension der Rezeption dieses früher vorwiegend aus westlicher Perspektive reflektierten Themas an. In diesem Sinne soll dieser Band dazu beitragen, Geschichtsunterricht multiperspektivisch zu bereichern.

What do school textbooks say about the Reformation? How do they interpret the work of Martin Luther? How do they portray the role of the Catholic Church and how do museums, novels and other manifestations of its historical culture deal with the topic? This book reflects the answers to these questions in light of history-didactic discourse. It also shows how formerly socialist countries rediscovered the subject after 1989/1991 and, with two Asian points of view, notes the global dimension of the reception of this topic, which was formerly viewed from a predominantly Western perspective. In this sense, this volume plays its part in enriching history lessons from multiple perspectives.

This volume addresses the role and importance of education for processes of transitional justice. In the aftermath of conflict and mass violence, education has been one of the tools with which societies have sought to achieve positive transformation. While education has the potential to trigger, maintain, and exacerbate conflict, it has also been designed to promote a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the past and to advance reconciliation, peacebuilding, and prevention. The original contributions in the book reflect on lessons learned from education policies of the past in post-conflict societies and seek innovative, sustainable, and context-sensitive grassroots approaches, designed to advocate critical thinking, values of inclusion and tolerance, and ultimately a culture of peace.
