Abstract

The article explores Christian education in the context of the kerygma, highlighting the need to shape a Christian mindset as a prerequisite for mature faith, authentic apostolic engagement, and the building of peace. It presents the historical connection between educational ideals rooted in classical Greek culture and Christian pedagogy. The kerygma is shown as an integrative principle in religious education, deeply influencing the formation of Christian identity. In light of both the educational ideals of antiquity and contemporary challenges, the article refers to the 1946 UNESCO Constitution and its educational principles. Special attention is given to the kerygmatic teaching of Pope Francis, with an emphasis on his new pastoral approaches and renewed theological language.
