Summary/Abstract: In this article, the scholarly achievements of Fr. Prof. Jerzy Bagrowiczin the field of religious pedagogy are subjected to a historical andhermeneutical analysis. The history of Prof. Bagrowicz’s ­ academicand popularizing achievements shows the need for a dialogical ap-proach to issues related to religious education and upbringing. It isalso worth placing such research on scientific biography in the histor-ical context, which allows for a proper reflection of the author’s in-tentions, a correct reading of his pedagogical and theological ­ ideas,and an appreciation of the prophetic nature of his teaching. As a re-sult of reading the books and articles of the Toruń-based pedagogueand theologian, enriched by an interview with him, it was possible todistinguish two basic periods in Prof. Bagrowicz’s scholarly activity.The analysis of his writings not only in the field of religious peda-gogy, but also his theological reflection on pastoral theology andcatechetics, indicates the need for an interdisciplinary approach, es-pecially with regard to the main subject of research. The very placingof religious pedagogy on the intersection of between theology andpedagogy calls for further interdisciplinary research.
