This thesis is within the Research Line: Culture and Educational Processes. The object of study referred here is the literary work Grande Sertão: Veredas (2001), by João Guimarães Rosa. The fundamental aims of this thesis are: to present a theophanical dimension as the symbolic essential matter of Rosean´s major work and to defend a perspective of a pedagogy of the symbols or spiritual as a compulsory formative demand for human and mundane living in modern times. The theoretical background of this research is supported by the hermeneuthic of the symbols of the French thinker Gilbert Durand. The procedure was of a hermeneuthical exercise of the symbolic fountain present in Grande Sertão: Veredas, confronting it with the religious Judaic-Christian canon of the Holy Bible. The main contribution of this thesis is in the affirmation that, for the exercise of an authentic symbolic experience in our times, it is necessary to problematize the univocity of the racionalist and scientificist discourse of modern pedagogy, in favor of a pedagogy of the symbols or spiritual, which leads us again to the direction of the re-living of our Imago Dei. Towards that, the fundamental importance of the search of the intimacy with the symbolic dimension, epiphany and theophany, present in literary works and, above all, in the Holy Book.
