Ervaringsgeori�nteerde geloofsoordrag: geloofwaardige waarheid

Abstract

The central question in a theological� communication� theory is the mediation between tradition and experience. How can the reality of God and the reality of human beings be connected on the level of experience? The� transmission of the Christian faith is about the mediation of a symbolic reality, meant to bring about spiritual experience and experience of meaning. Not only the cognitive dimension, but� the affective, emotive, conative, aesthetic and social dimensions have to play an active role. The communication of faith on all levels of experience is thus a sine qua non for theologians and educators of religion. The challenge for theology is to recognize ways� in which experience-driven religious education can be practised.
