Sažetak
Early Christian education has not become still a subject of interest among Croatian pedagogues. Hence, this contribution aims at being an incentive not to disregard and bypass what is a part of the European civilised circle that has its roots in antique Greek-Roman and early Christian reflection on education. These roots are also reflected in some educational contents of cultures within that circle. Since this area of research is very broad and cannot be treated properly in an article, the author tried to reduce its scope as much as possible by summarising central antique educational ideas and practices in the introduction and by mentioning the main »textbooks«. After that, the author treats the significant example of this activity, i.e. the example of Ausonius, and the first disapproval in terms of the Christian attitude towards what has been inherited. As the object of Christian disapproval, the author mentions Julian´s edict that was a cause of threat and of creating distinctive Christian educational contents and practice on the basis of ideas from works of St. Basil, St. Gregory of Nassianus, St. Augustine, and pope St. Gregory the Great. The author does not treat all important authors here, since he wrote about them in some previous publications. Towards the end, the author writes about the relation towards »pedagogical measures« in the early Christianity. From all of this one can read continuity and discontinuity related to this significant social and cultural activity within individual historical periods and for each individual nation. The author utilised the methodical procedure of detecting key ideas in representative sources and comparing the inherited with the new, while pointing out specificity of one and the other, as well as shifts that have occurred.
