Hubertus Halbfas’s Research-Didactic Work

Abstract

Hubertus Halbfas is an educationalist of religion, well-known not only in Germany. Polish catechetics only partly knows his research-didactic work. The article contains the first description of his life as a scientist and a complete list of his publications in the Polish language. It introduces the reader into the context of the development of catechetics/pedagogy of religion in Germany, and it indicates selected trends in Halbfas’s work.

Halbfas’s thought that every human being has an inner desire to “transcend himself/herself’ and to experience ever new dimensions of his/her life, is a constant challenge to work out new programs of religious education. His didactic-symbolic conception tries to restore the lost narrative ability of religious experience to scholarly didactics, and although it contains many controversial elements, it is a challenge for modern educationists of religion and catechists in every cultural area.

Keywords:
