ABSTRACT

Educational activities contribute to objective self-integration by provoking personal understanding of man's position and status in the cosmos. Religiously educational activities are therefore only efficacious if they are pertinently relevant to the religious dimension of personal life. Accordingly those dimensional criteria which partially determine the justifiability of the general aims of religious education stem from a clear understanding of the religious dimension of personal life: and this, in turn, implies an analysis of the concept of 'religion' as applied to personal life.
