Abstract
The central question in a theological communication theory is the mediation between tradition and experience. How can the reality of God and the reality of human beings be connected on the level of experience? The transmission of the Christian faith is about the mediation of a symbolic reality, meant to bring about spiritual experience and experience of meaning. Not only the cognitive dimension, but the affective, emotive, conative, aesthetic and social dimensions have to play an active role. The communication of faith on all levels of experience is thus a sine qua non for theologians and educators of religion. The challenge for theology is to recognize ways in which experience-driven religious education can be practised.

Die invloed van die werklikheidsverstaan en die houding teenoor die lewe op grond van godsdienstige ervaring, is wedersyds bepalend, daarom moet die teologie poog om aan die religieuse ervaring oor die hele spektrum van die menslike lewe uitdrukking te gee
