Abstract

Abstract: This article examines shalom as the teleological foundation of Christian religious education. Through a qualitative literature review, this study argues that authentic Christian education must be oriented toward shalom—a holistic vision encompassing peace, justice, ecological integrity, and human flourishing. The discussion begins by tracing the biblical-theological roots of shalom in the Old Testament tradition and its pedagogical implications. It then explores the holistic dimension of Christian education, integrating faith, knowledge, and life praxis. Furthermore, this article analyses ecological responsibility as an essential content of Christian education in the era of environmental crisis. Finally, justice is discussed as the practical orientation of Christian education in the Indonesian context. This study concludes that a shalom-oriented Christian education offers a transformative theological framework that is holistic, ecological, and justice-bearing for contemporary society.
