Abstract

This article investigates Carl Jung's contributions to Christian education in the process of individuation, considering it as the integral development of the human being. Christian education must go beyond the simple transmission of doctrine; it must promote emotional, spiritual, and cognitive aspects. The research seeks to understand how Christian education can contribute to this process, helping to strengthen the "I" and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Jesus' message and teachings encourage inner reflection and personal transformation. Thus, an effective Christian education must dialogue with human needs, promoting an experience that values inclusion, dignity, and commitment to the Kingdom of God. Therefore, it is concluded that true Christian education not only teaches about Christ, but also leads each person to a personal and transformative experience with Him, promoting a life that is more integral, authentic, conscious, and connected with God and with others.
