Abstract
This contribution brings together the framework conditions for religious education in Germany and Croatia. Specifically, it addresses the sustainability of a subject that is currently facing a multitude of enquiries regarding its profile. The contribution seeks to open up perspectives that reflect on the transnational expansion of religious education. Theology, as the reference discipline of religious education, is critically questioned in its role and reemphasized as a practice of reflection, and it is repositioned within religious education. This is done with the aim of promoting a religious education that is future-oriented and based on dialog.
