Paradigms and Principles of Religious Education Highlighted in the Holy Gospels. Their Relevance, Perspectives and Challenges in Contemporary Society

Summary/Abstract: This study, Paradigms and Principles of the Religious Education Highlighted in the Holy Gospels. Their Relevance, Perspectives and Challenges of the Contemporary Society, aims at bringing into focus the necessity and relevance of paradigms and principles of religious education in response to the challenges posed by contemporary society. Religious education has always played an important role in the complex process of shaping and completing a person’s character. If school systematically prepares the individual intellectually and civically, religious education is a complimentary component in the continuity of the educational process, relying on moral teachings in the shaping of ethical consciousness and behavior. In the process of acquiring an honest character, religious education is absolutely necessary. Moreover, it completes the informational sphere on a broader scale and thus offers the possibility of shaping a complex cultural personality. It is a religious education which opens the path to dialogue and interdisciplinary, interethnic, and interreligious connection, to become a unifying force, the bond in interhuman and intercultural relationships. It is the community well and the shared communion among people, opening new perspectives and new bridges in interhuman relationships.
