Credo de Miguel Ángel Asturias: uma releitura do credo apostólico

Abstract

The objective of this article is to study the Credo, poem by Guatemalan poet Miguel Ángel Asturias Rosales, in his intertextual relation with the so-called Apostles' Creed. To this end, we divided our article into two sections. In the first, we present the origens and characteristics of the Christian text. In the second, after a brief comment about the poetic production of Asturias, we analysed the poem aiming at identify the way he presents a political retelling of the theological principles defined in the Apostles' Creed. Annexed, we present a literal translation of the poem.
