Summary/Abstract: The Religious Education and the Impropriation of Values. The religious education accomplishes through its pedagogical steps the knowledge of values and in the same time the hierarchy of these values. The educational message presents absolute values and relative values. The human soul is the one that doesn’t find satisfaction in inconclusive explanations and wants to find the meaning of reality by stating and accepting the absolute values comprised in God: Good, Beauty, Truth, Love. By an adequate education, achieved in the essence of Christian and moral spiritual values, a religious-moral personality is built by finding in this horizon its frame of ontological fulfillment. The Christian spirituality is an ample and complex pedagogical process in the formation of a human being. The specific and the formation methods realized by the Christian religion are not only the ones used by the other educational factors; it can be used besides the profane methods for achieving the objective of the divine element.
