Abstract
Evangelizing is searching for an appropriate language to hand on Revelation. Demonstrated is a possible use of linguistic theories and educationally-developmental understandings of Vigotsky, to reach an increasingly isolated human. A selfcentered human being (autologous) has a difficult time understanding others and is thus becoming more empty-like he has no purpose. Evangelizing, which brings Revelation, a language of Another, becomes necessary to free the modern human for dectological sphere. Even though authology has become a part of approaches of evangelization, pastoral care has to become more dectological. The possibility of becoming open to transcendental in immanence of a subject is shown through three types of passivity in the philosophy of P. Ricoeur. Thus we see compatibility of new methods of evangelizing with the old ones. The best solution for modern evangelizing is shown in the community of the Church, which contains all of the necessary language for accepting the revelation of God as well as our neighbor. This way our God and our neighbor will be heard in the world, which firmly stands by freedom and autonomy.

Summary
Today we can assume for the majority of the Christian world that, “Increasingly, faith is no longer something people inherit but something they seek”[1]. The element of mystery, the idea of transcendence, the ‚distinct otherness’ of the faith would be totally absorbed by what was ‚understandable’ from the sole standpoint of human experience”[2] This kind of approach would be contradicting the requirement of Second Vatican Council, “The obedience of faith” is to be given to God who reveals, an obedience by which man commits his whole self freely to God, offering the full submission of intellect and will to God who reveals,” and freely assenting to the truth revealed by Him”[3]. Traditional separation in immanent and transcendent is becoming increasingly difficult Because the latter doesn’t speak to modern humans as much as it used to, despite the fact that in the Church teaching it represents the fundamental orientation of evangelization. “With God we can only have a me-you relationship, because we cannot – in an unconditional contrast to everything else that lives – have an object(ive) view about him; even seeing doesn’t bring us objective reflection, because whoever tries to, without the full me-you relationship, clinging to the afterimage, has already lost the vision”
