This study aims to analyze the integration of humanistic learning theory in Christian Religious Education (CRE) as an effort to form Christian character. The method used is a qualitative approach with a literature study design, through the review of various sources such as books, journals, and relevant theological references. The findings indicate that humanistic principles such as self-actualization, freedom to learn, student-centered learning, and empathetic teacher–student relationships play an important role in supporting character formation. This integration enables CRE learning to go beyond the transfer of biblical knowledge by also fostering balanced cognitive, emotional, and spiritual development. As a result, Christian values such as love, responsibility, and humility can be internalized in students’ lives. This study affirms that humanistic and integrated CRE learning can produce real changes in students’ attitudes and behaviors.
