Abstract

One of the subjects which have long been obsessing the minds and spirits of deep-thinking believers is the relationship between religion in all aspects and scopes we can consider for it and the model of reason and rationality. The scope of religious studies is full of various and ever-emerging questions in this regard. There are diverse approaches to the relation between these two. Adopting each approach to this relation will result in a totally different method of to mack cleare the religion training, and a different way of explicating religious issues. In this paper, we deal with two approaches: reason-centered and faith-centered approaches. Our main research question is: Should we adopt a reason-centered or faith-centered approach to explicate the religion training? In case education system adopt the reason-centered approach to preaching the religion, what kind of rationality should be raised in this approach? And if it is faith-centered, what kind of faith should be considered? To answer these questions in this paper, we have elaborated on reason-centeredness and faith-centeredness, analyzed types of rationality and faith-centeredness, and discussed the suitable rationality and faith-centeredness for the religion training through education system.
Key words: reason-centered approach, faith-centered approach, Education system, rationality, the religion training
