Resumen
Mediante un abordaje cualitativo comprensivo del ejercicio pastoral y el rol de la hermenéutica bíblica en el contexto educativo religioso ecuatoriano, se consultaron con entrevistas a 20 pastores cristiano-evangélicos en contextos rurales y urbanos. Las categorías fueron los Antecedentes Formativos; Fundamentos Metodológicos; Integración Contextual; Desarrollo Espiritual; Preparación Académica; Aplicación Práctica y Valoración Final. Se identificaron relaciones y metarelaciones, surgiendo la necesidad de mejorar la formación y de incorporar prácticas interpretativas que respondan más directamente a los desafíos contextuales contemporáneos.
Palabras clave: Educación religiosa no confesional, ejercicio pastoral en Ecuador, doble hermenéutica bíblica

Abstract
Through a comprehensive qualitative approach to pastoral practice and the role of biblical hermeneutics in the Ecuadorian religious educational context, 20 Christian-evangelical pastors in rural and urban contexts were consulted through interviews. The categories were Formative Background; Methodological Foundations; Contextual Integration; Spiritual Development; Academic Preparation; Practical Application and Final Evaluation. Relationships and meta-relationships were identified, and the need to improve formation and incorporate interpretive practices that respond more directly to contemporary contextual challenges emerged.
Key words: Non-denominational religious education, pastoral practice in Ecuador, double biblical hermeneutics
