Educación religiosa escolar, una mediación crítica para comprender la realidad

To address the question of the relevance of religious education is to inquire for its object of study, formation objective, method and function at the school level and society. This article, contextualized in modernity and its claim to freedom, aims to value the critical scope of this knowledge, address the need of an option for its substantiation based on the liberation theology and pedagogy for liberation as a process of consciousness, as well as to contribute to education within the secular rationality. The reflection brings together institutions around the importance of Religious Education at schools, ERE, as part of the research on the liberating ERE, funded by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.
