Abstract

The aim of this article is to propose a method for practical theology, the hermeneutical-praxis paradigm, based on discussions of three different methodological approaches to practical theology. This article suggests the hermeneutical-praxis paradigm, which bridges theory and practice, which connects church with society, which correlates theology with its non-theological partners. This method provides an adequate framework for examining our present situation in contemporary, postmodern context as well as exploring possibilities for practical theology and more particularly, religious education.
