Abstract

The central proposal of this essay is that religious education in Catholic schools is to educate for living faith and not simply for instruction about Catholic or other religious traditions. For long this claim was taken for granted. Now, however, and for various reasons, there is growing sentiment that formation in faith is exclusively the work of family and parish, whereas religious education in Catholic schools is to proceed solely as an academic discipline, teaching religion as one might teach mathematics or science or any other subject. This essay proposes that we resist this diminution of religious education in Catholic schools (hereafter RECS) and precisely to honor the nature, purpose, and ways of knowing that are inherent to Christian faith, and likewise to reflect the Christian intellectual tradition.

이 연구의 핵심은 가톨릭계 학교에서 생동하는 신앙을 가르치는 종교교육으로 그것은 단순히 종교와 신앙의 전통을 전수하는 그러한 형태의 수업과는 차이가 있다. 지금까지 종교교육의 형태는 가정과 교구에서는 배타적인 형태의 신앙으로 그 교육적 과업이 제한되어 왔다. 반면에 가톨릭 학교의 종교교육은 수학교과 혹은 과학교과와 같이 단지 학문 원리로 종교교육이 수행되어 왔다. 이 논문은 최근 현대 사회 속에서 가톨릭계 학교에서 이루어지는 종교교육의 축소에 주목하면서, 기독교의 신앙과 기독교의 지적 전통이 본래적으로 지니고 있은 본질, 목적, 앎의 양식을 촉진하는 종교교육의 근간을 제안함에 연구의 목적이 있다.
