Abstract:

This book explores the intersection of culture, language, and
religious experience, and approaches hermeneutics as a
meta-perspective to address Christian religious communication.
It draws on the work of scholars from diverse geographical areas and
academic fields, with a particular emphasis on Orthodox and Catholic
Christianity and Slavic scholarship.
The volume explores Christian experiential identities through
hermeneutics and phenomenology, in the context of diversity across
denominations through theolinguistic and sociopragmatic perspectives.
It offers the reader an exploration of specific cultural textscapes,
considering the space of devotional and religious narrations in a
variety of discourses. The chapters consider how the Gospel is
conditioned and developed by specific strands of Christianity, the
values that emerge through cultural contact and contact of specific
denominations, how religion interacts with wider societal issues, and
processes of sacralization and desacralization of culture, space and
expression.
Offering critical insights into hermeneutics in the tradition of
Schleiermacher, Gadamer and Ricoeur, it presents a variety of case
studies and topics, including Andalusian saeta, Biblical studies,
Icelandic hagiographies, issues of adaptation and exoticisation of the
language of religious minorities, Old Church Slavonic scriptures, the
Shrine of Fatima in Portugal, and sign language.
Through its exploration of religious narratives and interactions, the
book not only broadens our understanding of Christian experience but
also fosters dialogue across disciplines and cultures.
