Summary/Abstract: The present study entitled The Holy Scripture and the access through it to the dynamics and dimension of religious education of young people, aims to highlight the importance of the Holy Scripture in the religious education of young people in the contemporary context. As a source of divine revelation, the Holy Scripture is addressed to all mankind, giving us fundamental rules and important norms of education and conduct for life. Because religious education occupies a well-defined place in the complex process of human character formation, it provides young people with an integrative spiritual horizon through which they have the opportunity to relate and integrate themseelves more easily into society. Moreover, a thorough and complex training of young people cannot be lacking in any way in its religious component, religious education being imperative in the perspective of acquiring an integrity and a moral and intellectual character, mostly in the perspective of completing the information field as widely as possible in the formation of a complex intellectual, moral and cultural personality. The religious education of young people is particularly important, because without a minimum of religious training, young people are vulnerable to the current challenges of the contemporary society. The spread of secular, secular-atheist ideologies is trying to alienate young people from the faith and the perennial values of religious education. All these aspects cause us to highlight the dynamics, meaning and a great importance of the religious education of young people.
