Summary/Abstract: In current religious pluralism and extreme individualism, it is imperative that religious education transmit the real and authentic values that form the future generations. Children need answers to their problems. The topic of suffering is one of them, because they have their own teodicee when dramatic events happen in their life. Sickness, loss of loved ones, poverty, lack of authentic relationships are just few of the problems that affect children and the mission of state and church is to help them overcome it. The trio coordination parent-teacher-pastor/priest I think is the most effective way that children understand their suffering and overcome it. For this purpose, story of Job is a unique tool for Children Bible and for school curriculum.
