Sažetak
This paper will introduce and compare distance learning in the case of Paul’s epistles (disciples of Christ) and Universities (students). Distance learning is not a new idea, it has been known since the first century. Christian teachers, e.g. Paul of Tarsus, taught their disciples through epistles, not only to exchange teaching and information, moreover, it was regarded as formative process of the whole person. Due to fostering positive emotions their teaching letters take on a formative level in the sense that disciples adopted the information (teaching) as active part of their lives and thus were (trans)formed by it. Psychology confirms, information related to emotions is stored permanently in the brain, and the learned material is better evoked. That way the information becomes available on demand and takes on formative characteristics (like with the disciples of Christ). Meaning, the student will be informed through distance learning and thereby the whole person can be formed. The formative aspect is vital, it ensures for the student not only information, furthermore, formation will enable the student to incorporate the learned material into their practical lives as well.
