This article aimes at tracing the spiritual dimension of educational ideas and methods. The scientific project observes spirituality in different pedagogical spheres of life. In searching for spiritual experiences a myriad of distinguished reports can be found. The author tries to structure these various reports and to develop different tools to describe substance and essence of spirituality, its scientific theory and its epistemological foundation. In the last chapters the spiritual dimensions of mathematical literacy and the axiomatic method are discussed. These dimensions may support enthusiasm, estimation and value guidance in education.

Henri J.M. Nouwen (1932-1996), a renowned pastoral theologian, has written more than 40 books among which several are about pastoral care and the spirituality of pastoral care. It was interesting for me to notice the parallel between his life and the contents of his books. He has undergone a tremendous personal development and spiritual maturity. His books invite all the christians and pastors to grow in the spiritual life. The spirituality is the underlying principle of creative ministry. Nouwen moves away from the traditional approach and concepts and develops his own concept of spiritual growth and pastoral care. Rooted in tradition and trained as a pastoral psychologist Nouwen is very appealing to the modern generation. This dissertation takes the reader through the life and writings of Nouwen to come to his original and new understanding of the spirituality of the pastoral care. / Henri J.M. Nouwen (1932-1996), ein renommierter Pastoraltheologe, hat viele Bücher geschrieben, darunter einige wichtige über das Pastoral und die Spiritualität der Seelsorge. Der Inhalt seiner Bücher weist eine Paralellität zu seinem Lebenslauf auf. Er lässt seine Leser an seiner spirituellen Entwicklung teilhaben. Seine Bücher laden Christen und Seelsorger zum reifer werden ein. Für ihn ist eine solide christliche Spiritualität das Fundament der schöpferischen Seelsorge. Nouwen schätzt die christliche Tradition, setzt aber neue Akzente. Meine Arbeit bemüht sich den Leser zu begleiten durch das Leben von Nouwen und seine Bücher. Ein Einblick in seine originelle und für die modernen Menschen aktuelle Konzeption hilft dem Leser über sein eigenes Leben nachzudenken.

“Preaching is boring,” is the expectation for most who sit in the pews Sunday after Sunday. The dominant paradigm for that preaching is “preaching the gospel” as the truth that listeners need to hear - a message delivered with certitude and directiveness. This presentation of the Good News of Jesus Christ has the marks of hegemony and violence visited on both listeners and the preacher. This paper explores an approach to preaching which eschews certitude and hegemony by providing a reflective and invitational approach; using five categories: What is God doing?; What is the aim and intention of preaching; Preaching and the preacher; Preparation and Delivery; and Evaluation.
