  Article:   FACTS AND PERSPECTIVES ON THE ROLE OF RELIGION.

Authors:  ÁRPÁD CZIRJÁK. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The address focuses on the changing role of religion in contemporary society and its implications for theological education. The analysis departs from a symbolic representation of this change, the Ernst Seler-case. Christianity seems to gradually loose its importance in society. Attention is given to the phenomena of de-sacralisation, elimination of Christian symbols, denial of Christian origins. Most of these phenomena are understood to be rooted in the thinking of the Enlightenment. Theological education needs to be aware of these challenges and to be able to look for appropriate answers.
