Beskrivelse
The book exposes and analyzes some of the problems of religious education in our time and presents religious language as a fundamental basis of any authentic religious dialogue and pedagogy. It goes further and discusses practical questions like: the metamorphosis of religion, the spiritual dimension of mankind; the erosion of faith and religious practices; Folk faith syndrome; the sickness of religious education; etc. The study repudiates the view that religion is in decline. The conclusion is simple - we need appropriate religious language which truly conveys meanings of religious truths, and that its peculiarity and oddness must prove its uniqueness and power, its tautologies should arouse discernment of depth, going far beyond the mere observation of matters of fact by the senses, its compelling force must challenge adherents to deep commitment to certain 'facts' somehow or other described in the Scriptures, and its appeal to reason should be seen to prove its epistemological credibility and offer the theological framework for evaluation.
