Jan Amos Comenius – From Biblical Doctrine to Christian Pedagogy

Summary/Abstract: Jan Amos Comenius – From Biblical Doctrine to Christian Pedagogy. Through his works, J.A. Comenius offered a new theory of education which later became the fundament of Pedagogy. In his profoundly Christian work he considered education to be one of the most significant things a man can accomplish throughout his life. His theory of education is an extremely complex one in which influences of the various religious and social trends of the time are encountered: the valorization of the human being; the complete freedom of thought and action, adopted by Humanism in the Renaissance period; the direct relationship of man with the divine elements, understood under the influence of the Protestant doctrine; modern realism and rationalism; the philosophical concept of empirical knowledge. Comenius’s pedagogical system did not appear by chance; it was structurally connected to the biblical doctrine of the fallen man and to the necessity of the human being’s restoration through a process that necessarily included religious education; an education to which the Czech scholar adhered. An analysis of Comenius’s work, which starts form the profound religious belief of the author, leads, without doubt, to the conclusion that he had in mind the adaptation of the biblical model to the reality of his days.
