Z problematyki katechetycznej w badaniach Katedry Katechetyki KUL

Abstract

The department of catechetical science at the Catholic University of Lublin in engaged in empirical and theoretical research; it is interested in a wide range of problems: the history of catechesis; modern catechesis; the kerygmatic and anthropological tendencies; the political tendency; the principles, essence, and methods of catechesis; the catechesis of children, young people, and adults. Much has been written recently on the model of catechesis and its realization, on the catechesis of young people and adults. The present article is an attempt at a synthesis of the most important ideas contained in a number of carefully selected works, so that the achievements of research may become public property. Thus relations were defined between catechesis, the Holy Scriptures, and the liturgy; yong people were allowed to express their views on catechesis so that an appropriate model of this very important type of catechesis could be selected. Finally the catechesis of adults and the catechization of parents were discussed.
