Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the paper is to present the contemporary perspectives of interdisciplinary discourse between theology and education sciences. The basis of the considerations is the concept of integral pedagogy reconstructed on the basis of the educational postulates presented by a Polish educator, Ludwika Jeleńska (1885–1961). The originality and relevance of this concept is not so much due to the association of education with faith content; it’s actually due to the close association of pedagogy with theology, and theory with practice. In Jeleńska’s works, theology – in a precursory manner, characteristic of contemporary Christian pedagogy – does not merely act as a normative conveyor of Christian values and ideas, but is an element that inspires the development of modern science and broadly understood culture.
