GROSS, Renato. Fé cristã, conhecimento e educação: paidéia ao alcance de todos. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2006, vol.06, n.19, pp.141-156. ISSN 1981-416X.

The present work, result of historical-bibliographical research, intend to present the itinerary covered in the process of appropriation by the Christianity of the Greek concept of Paidéia. The rising Christian church, when modifying the heathen conception of world, since its beginning, looked for to join processes of the education of its message with the search of the knowledge. The historical base of this process is in the Jewish tradition of the study of the Toráh. The Paidéia Christi, in turn is expressed in the Et. John’s Logos, in the St. Paul’s epistles, the patristic and the medieval theorization. Christ, as the humanity pedagogue (cf. Clement of Alexandria) when attracting all to himself, not making distinction nor social classes nor persons, contributes so that great parcels of the population of the world of that time, during and to the end of the cathecumenathic process, had opened for themselves the way of the knowledge. And this fact, was not restricted only to the conversion, but it also contributed to include in the Christian educative process, people who otherwise would be excluded. It gave thus, its contribution to the evolution of the pedagogical ideas, that centuries later culminated in the ideals of modernity and its educative project.
