Summary/Abstract: The catechesis of adults is considered as the principal form of catechesis. The Church is constantly looking for methods and forms of catechesis appropriate for an adult recipient. The biblical catechesis of adults Mess’AJE is one of the interesting catechetical proposals, which has enjoyed success in France and in many other countries around the world. The foundation of the pedagogy of faith is the Bible, and its source is divine pedagogy. What constitutes the originality of the pedagogy of adult catechesis Mess’AJE, is the proposal of travelling through the history of the faith of God’s people in the Bible. It is the history of salvation containing milestones – the so-called “thresholds of faith”, which becomes the history of acts of faith to remain faithful to God. The catechized know the history of the faith of God’s people and they discover in it their own history. Professor Jacques Bernard, the founder of this catechesis, shows in the Bible four thresholds of faith: Exodus, Exile, Jesus, The Church. Each catechetical meeting, according to the Mess’AJE approach, includes five elements: presentation and discussion of audiovisual material inspired by the Bible, biblical and historical approach, theological approach, sharing in groups, prayer.
