Summary/Abstract: In the introductory part, the fundamental concepts concerning inculturation are explicated. It is shown that the problems of inculturation have been accompanying the announcing of the Christian message since its beginning and that the success of evangelization was always conditioned by a successful inculturation. In the following text, the characteristic features of postmodern culture are analyzed, especially its capacity of accepting the evangelical message. Possible problems of inculturation of the Gospel into postmodern culture are mentioned, but in the same time, some ways of their overcoming are proposed, both in the catechetical work with children, young people and adults, and in pastoral practice, as well as in the spiritual accompaniment.
