The question of theological content and communicative forms in religious education has on various sides become an increasingly urgent issue recently& and hence the larger question of theology as its reference point. Although the educational requirements and standards for appropriate and subject-oriented religious education have long since been recognized in the theory of religious education and in teaching practice, the theological perspective of religious education is associated with a number of open questions and problem complexes. With a broad ecumenical and interdisciplinary approach, renowned specialists provide focused educational-theory guidance for dealing with these issues.
