Myth and theologyThe study of education and the matrix of ideas in which it occurs respond to one another.What the educator thinks depends to some extent on the dynamic concepts of his own culture; what he says, contributes to them.Because of this active mutuality, it is sometimes helpful for the educator to look deliberately and critically at contemporary movements of thoughtincluding those that at first sight appear alien to his interests.Among the dialogues of our times that would seem but marginally significant for him is that on the nature of myth and the idea of demythologizing that is being conducted by theologians in different countries and in different denominations.
