Abstract
One of the important but often neglected aspects of reading Freire's work concerns his vision of the human being and the world deeply inspired and validated by his Christian faith. Although this dimension, for the most part, is not explicitly elaborated in his writings, a closer reading may reveal an interesting relationship between Freire's work and the Christian prophetic tradition. This article attempts to contextualize the religious dimension of Freire's social and educational philosophy. In addition, it proposes the poetic-prophetic dimension of the Freirian educational practice as a paradigm to face the challenges we are collectively experiencing in our world today.
