The Concept of ``Shema'' in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 as an Application of Educational Theology

Educational theology provides the basis for religious education by integrating religious values into the curriculum and teaching methods. Through the authors’ literature research, it was determined that the biblical concept of Christian religious education for children has significant value. This discipline is steeped in Bible teachings and aims to cultivate a personal relationship with God, which ultimately glorifies His name. Those who are responsible for teaching in the field of Christian religious education play an important role. The Israel Shema, or Jewish Creed, found in Deuteronomy 6:4-5, serves as the basis for teaching God’s teachings to children. The authors provide a qualitative analysis of the text and its contextual background, which is closely related to Israeli beliefs and their relationship to educational theology. Shema, as a declaration of faith for the nation of Israel, is a manifestation of personal commitment and determination to the one true God and is used in the practice of teaching faith education in both the family and church circles.
