Abstract

This paper discusses, in which sense a theological perspective on the one hand substantially enriches the self-understanding of religious education as theory and on the other hand how it can profile and enliven bibeldidactics as practice. It is based on an understanding of theological education that focuses on ‚the whole person‘. A bible-oriented education can be described as worthwhile if it is shaped in a general educational and socially critical way addressing life-relevant issues.
