Abstract:
This paper aims to identify the role of philosophical, psychological, and religio-cultural roots especially in religious education in facing various challenges that students face in the contemporary time. A content analysis of literature was conducted to highlight significant findings and insights as to how religious education contributes to the on-going discussions in addressing the various needs of students. Results revealed that depression is a contemporary challenge to religious education. Various schools of thought in philosophy, psychology and religion can help augment the educative process, especially in religious education. Though these schools of thought may not be perfect, they are yet beneficial in providing answers to the many intricate issues and concerns that confront education. Nevertheless, the formation of students is what really matters. At any rate, that is where education is essentially aimed.
