Abstract

This research aims to formulate a philosophical synthesis between Essentialism and Reconstructionism and its relevance to the transformation of General Education and Christian Religious Education (CRE). On one hand, Essentialism emphasizes the preservation of core values and established cultural heritage. On the other hand, Reconstructionism encourages education as an instrument of social change towards a more just world order. Using a qualitative research method with a literature study approach, the results indicate that the synthesis of these two schools of thought creates an educational model that is "rooted yet impactful." In the context of CRE, this synthesis allows churches and Christian schools to remain steadfast in Biblical authority (essential aspect) while actively engaging in social-societal transformation (reconstruction aspect). This integration serves as a solution to the dichotomy between dogmatic teaching and the demand for social relevance in the contemporary era.
