Contemporary brings demands to the humankind. The religious experience is one among these many existing demands. It is undeniable that Brazil is going through a process of effervescence in this area. And this regards both religious and non-religious people. Due to that scenario, it is necessary to accurately investigate it, expanding and contributing academically with the area of psychology of religion. The Protestant pastor Oskar Pfister is known as an important scholar in the fields of psychology and religion. The aim of this dissertation is the understanding of the relevance and contribution of Oscar Pfister to the field of psychology of religion. In order to achieve that, an intense investigation was taken on the referred author bibliography, as well as on other correlative authors. In the first chapter, it was presented the biography of Oskar Pfister and his main epistemological influences. Its goal is to find out how Pfister builds his thought until his contact with the Freudian psychology. In the second chapter, the contribution of Pfister to the psychology of religion is investigated. Its aim is to suggest some pfisterian approaches to the religious context, as well as his legacy in the field of psychology of religion. In the third chapter, the dialogue between the pfisterian thought and the religious phenomenon is presented. Its purpose is to approximate psychological and religious subjects to each other, and to show how joining them together is crucial to the understanding of the relationship between these two areas. In the final thoughts, the author aims to reclaim the discussion on the so far established relationship, keeping alive the fruitful legacy of Oskar Pfister.
