Abstract
This research is dedicated to the perspectives of dialogue between two major
world religions: Christianity and Islam in the context of contributing to the development
of the contemporary world. Mutual respect and understanding expressed through
initiatives for constructive dialogue and cooperation can contribute to the consolidation
of a culture of peace, to the promotion of social interaction and to the strengthening of
the creative potential of society.
The focus on the common heritage of both religious traditions, represented by the
multitude of insights and archetypes of Abrahamic origin, is the starting point for progress
in the dialogue. Regarding this, the need arises to reform educational programs at all
levels in education by introducing more religious-ethical content that will convey the
message of fruitful inter- religious dialogue between different social groups, in order to
strengthen and promote social cohesion and to create a common dimension of cultural
and spiritual progress.
In the proper setting of the teaching process, students can feel that fully belong to the
competence of action and change, no matter how beginner it may seem at their age.
Thus peace-pedagogical stimuli receive a new emphasis that extends to caring for the
created world. Justice is understood as a decisive condition for peace and preservation of
the created world.
