| Summary: | Teaching the Catholic religion in the University setting is very challenging especially now that we are living in the postmodern world. In the context of the postmodern world, there can arise two questions: First; "Having in mind a challenge of the postmodern world, that is incredulity to grand narratives, is it better to remove the Catholic religion in the curriculum since it is a form of a grand narrative?" And second; "Having in mind a phenomenon that the postmodern world brings which is hyperreality, what happens to the teacher and to the student of the Catholic religion in the classroom?" This paper will try to make sense of those questions by exploring first our postmodern world through the lens of two great postmodern philosophers namely Jean-Francois Lyotard and Jean Baudrillard. |
