Summary/Abstract: Defining the purposes of Religious Education is a complex process through the learning content is associated in an explicit way with pedagogical formulations agreed in a particular historical stage. The intention of these actions is to facilitate the utilization of the learning formative character of the religious content in different educational contexts. This study proposes an examination of the Religion syllabus elaborated after 1989, particularly at the content of learning. Formative level of learning content - which in Christianity is a unitary structure and it is centered on the Person and teachings of Jesus Christ - know different stages: some of its components are formative themselves and others become formative through the educational process proceeding with the aim to attain their knowledge and through the intellectual, emotional, volitional and action structures that are developing. Religious living may represent only the result of a set of feelings and personal experiences, possible by covering situations of life by educating the emotional component of students within the meaning of religious feeling superior, by learning and living the word. All this requires a curriculum that includes immutable values of Christianity in a structure as close to life changing experiences of new generations.
