Z teologii doświadczenia

Abstract

One of the most current problems in modern learning is that of experience. It is dealt with by many different branches, e.g. philosophy, psychology, sociology, and pedagogy. Also theologians and catechists have recently shown interest in it, as it is demonstrated in this article. It consists of an introduction and two parts. In the introduction an attempt is made to point out the many aspects of the problem. Mention is made of such aspects as the psychological, sociological, theological, and ecclesial ones. In the first part general experience and religious experience are analysed in order to devote more attention to the relations obtaining between revelation and experience. In the second part the author tries to give deeper thought to such questions as the experience of God in relation to the experience of the creation, and contemplation versus the experience of God.
