Thoughts on philosophy of religion as a (theological) reference discipline of religious education based on a comment by Norbert Mette

Abstract

The article explores the question of what potential can be discovered for the formation of students and the work in RE if philosophy of religion is increasingly used as a theological reference discipline in religious education. Where religious education initiates and shapes educational learning processes, philosophy of religion can become an interesting interlocutor: For critical inspirations and readings of religious traditions in their current social significance, as a seismograph for relevant questions and, last but not least, as a touchstone for questioning one's own theological concepts of knowledge for their probation in a post-secular public.
