Summary/Abstract: The text discusses possibilities of application of dialogue as a method of learning in theological education. As the author comes from Protestant milieu, the focus of analysis will be Protestant theological education in the Republic of Croatia, and more specifically, the use of dialogue as a method of learning at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Osijek, which is the case study. To this end, author conducted a pilot study among the employees of the College, which confirmed the use and effectiveness of dialogue as a method of teaching in theological education. The conclusions suggest that the dialogue model is based upon the relationship between God and men, and within the Triune nature of God Himself; that it leads toward joint action – fulfillment of the Kingdom on earth – by both man and God as partners; it also impacts positively the students easing adoption of new knowledge, seeking their active involvement in the class by reflecting on their past experiences; encourages independent critical thinking and application of acquired knowledge in the context of the society.
