Abstract

The thesis Soccer and Religion: Symbolic and pedagogical dimension has two goals. On the one hand, to provide an epistemological foundation of the sporting football phenomenon and to show its relationship with the world of the sacred, with the appearance of primitive Christianity (centered on the figure of Paul of Tarsus, taking its so-called 'sport metaphors' model) and all the contextual aspects that characterized it. On the other hand, it seeks a pedagogical foundation derived from a sports axiology that has the substrate in the writings and in the apostle's thinking in order to become a model that improves the pedagogical aspect of this sport.
