Previous issue date: 2009-03-23 / The aim of the present study is to investigate the way through which the relations between Mathematics and Religion emerge in the work of Blaise Pascal. This research is justified by the need to deepen these relations, so far little explored if compared to intersection points between Mathematics and other fields of knowledge. The choice for Pascal is given by the fact that he was one of the mathematicians who elaborated best one reflection in the religious field thus provoking contradictory reactions. As a methodology, it is a bibliographical and documental research with analytical-comparative reading of referential texts, among them the Oeuvres compl?tes de Pascal (1954), Le fonds pascalien ? Clermont-Ferrand (2001), Mathematics in a postmodern age: a cristian perspective by Howell & Bradley (2001), Mathematics and the divine: a historical study by Koetsier & Bergmans (2005), the Anais dos Semin?rios Nacionais de Hist?ria da Matem?tica and the Revista Brasileira de Hist?ria da Matem?tica. The research involving Pascal's life as a mathematician and his religious experience was made. A wider background in which the subject matter emerges was also researched. Seven categories connected to the relation between mathematics and religion were identified from the reading of texts written by mathematicians and historians of mathematics. As a conclusion, the presence of four of these seven categories was verified in Pascal's work / O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar o modo pelo qual emergem as rela??es entre a matem?tica e a religi?o na obra de Blaise Pascal. A pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade de se aprofundar estas rela??es, at? agora pouco exploradas se comparadas com pontos de interse??o entre a matem?tica e os outros campos do conhecimento. A escolha de Pascal deve-se ao fato dele ter sido um dos matem?ticos que melhor elaborou uma reflex?o no campo religioso provocando rea??es contradit?rias. Como metodologia, ? uma pesquisa bibliogr?fica e documental com leitura anal?tico-comparativa de textos referenciais; dentre os quais as Oeuvres compl?tes de Pascal (1954), Le fonds pascalien ? Clermont-Ferrand (2001), Mathematics in a postmodern age: a cristian perspective de Howell e Bradley (2001), Mathematics and the divine: a historical study de Koetsier e Bergmans (2005), os Anais dos Semin?rios Nacionais de Hist?ria da Matem?tica e a Revista Brasileira de Hist?ria da Matem?tica. Foi feita uma pesquisa sobre a vida de Pascal como matem?tico e sua experi?ncia religiosa. Al?m disso, foi pesquisado um cen?rio mais amplo no qual emerge o tema em quest?o. Foram identificadas sete categorias a partir da leitura de textos escritos por matem?ticos e historiadores da matem?tica, no que se refere ? rela??o matem?tica e religi?o. Como conclus?o, constatou-se que quatro destas categorias aparecem na obra de Pascal
