Abstract

The issue about the ways of communicating with the Bible is one of the burning issues and implies the categories of experience, relevance and life-orientation. It reads: In which way can the Bible offer a life-orientation to the present pupils? How can the pupils’ life-experience be relevant to that of a biblical man so that the biblical truth that God loves man becomes plausible to the pupils and relevant to life? This work answers to some of these questions from a didactic-methodological point of view. The first part is about the pedagogical role of the Bible in religious teaching. In the second part we present the principles of experiential and integral teaching in communication with the Bible. In the third part we set out the didactic-methodological elements in the approach to the Bible and also some contemporary methods of catechetic work with the Bible. The appendix confirms the central position of biblical contents in the Plan and Programme of the Catholic religious teaching for primary schools and offers a list of these according to the school classes.
