LUTHER-KALENDER MAGAZINE: EDUCATIONAL-RELIGIOUS REALITY IN SERRA DOS TAPES/RS THROUGH THE EYES OF PROFESSOR EMÍLIO WILLE (1917-1927).

Abstract

In this work, we present a report written by Professor Emílio Wille in 1927 and published in the Luther-Kalender magazine in 1928, in which he recounts his work as a school teacher within the context of Lutheranism, presenting the history of the beginning of the evangelical parish in the southern region of Rio Grande do Sul, in the Serra dos Tapes, between the years 1917 and 1927. Our main objective in this writing is to critically analyze the sources to understand the genesis of the Lutheran parish school of Solidez and the mission school of Manoel do Rego and the communities involved in this context, using the methodology of documentary analysis (Cellard, 2012 and Le Goff, 2003), iconographic analysis (Panofsky, 2017 and Kossoy, 2020) and habitus analysis (Bourdieu, 2025). In analyzing the text, one perceives in Professor Emílio Wille's narrative a reaffirmation of the unique nature of his educational career within the religious context of Lutheranism.
