Summary/Abstract: In this paper we are offering a practical example of reading the critique of humanism in the works of archimandrite Justin Popović. They suggest that his critique comes from his Christological apprehension and is aimed at the existential attitude of centering and restricting the autonomous human perspectives, as expressed throughout many ideological orientations of the contemporary world. The pedagogical relationships in the humanistic culture of the Western society, to which most of Orthodox Christians belongs today, tend to keep children within a status utterly different from that offered by a God-blessed one which is provided by their partaking in church liturgical worship. They impose such associations, and keep the general pedagogic discourse of the Western world in such frameworks, which are not applicable to Christian education without serious misunderstandings.
