Proposal for a Pedagogical Model of the Gestures and Symbolic Acts of Prophets

Abstract

This paper develops the elements that make a pedagogical model, identified in the prophetic writings of the eighth century BC, namely in the books of Amos, Hosea, Micah and Isaiah, considered as the classical period of biblical prophecy. These elements include the conception of man, society, knowledge, and management of the teaching and learning processes. First, an approach to the pedagogical proposals for the biblical teaching is presented. Then, the constitutive elements that are common to the different pedagogical models proposed are indicated. Subsequently, these elements are developed in the prophetic books mentioned, referencing their historical, socio-cultural and religious context and the human and vocational profiles of each prophet mentioned.
