Abstract
The field of knowledge named Theopoetics, associated with the interfaces between literature and the general scope of the sciences that study religion and the spiritualties, has produced a large number of events and publications in the last three or four decades in Brazil. This paper presents radiography of bibliographic output within Theopoetics, focusing on four aspects: i) gender, age and institutional affiliation of the researchers; ii) their academic background and titling; iii) publications in the area and main investigators; iv) models of reading, most widely-read writers and poets. This research was developed from a list of over 100 researchers (two-thirds of whom were doctors, usually of Theology and / or Literature) whose bibliographic production was close to 600 titles (articles, books, book chapters, annals of congress) and nearly 80 dissertations and theses in the area. The data point to an exponential growth of interest in religion-literature dialogue in recent years.
