Abstract:
This is an effort to dialogue between theology and pedagogy with a theological reading of the work Pedagogy of the opressed, by Paulo Freire. In the first chapter, a search is made to determine the method of the theological reading. After an analysis of the method of thematic investigation presented by Freire, a thesis is developed in which this method is adequate for a theological reading of the referred to work; therefore one discovers in the method of thematic investigation an excelent method for the reading. The steps of the theological reading of the work follow the direccions of the method of thematic investigation. The second chapter deals with a reading of the world, where not only the author, but also the reader are targets of observation. How much the author of the work, Paulo Freire, preceives clearly, through the paragraphs of biblical verses, the language used and the themes dealt with influences his Christian formation and his theology in the formation of his theological-pedagogical thinking. In the chapter three, four, five and six, he discusses the generated themes in a theological-pedagogical perspective: liberation, communion, solidarity, love, generosity, testimony, hope, the word, inmersion, emersion, insertion, the news man, faith, God and world. Finally, na attempt at the problem of the praxis of the baptist pastor is presented in light of a theological reading of the Pedagogy of the opressed.
