Abstract
The concept of the religious education of a child aged three to twelve by Sofia Cavalletti (1917–2011) has been present in educational practice since 1954. In Poland the assumptions of that concept have been fulfilled in certain educational institutions since the 1990’s. The objective of the article is to answer the question of why is Biblical narratives constitute the locus ethicus in Cavalletti’s concept of child education? Religious education based on the Bible and liturgy is strictly related to the task of the catechesis which is ethical formation. The story told in the Bible is shown in the catechesis as the history of God and a human being who are the partners of the covenant. This relation is understood as the source of life and the basis for ethical education.
