Language and the Formation of Religious Reality
Allehaibi, Majed S.
Education Quarterly Reviews, v3 n2 p220-224 2020
This paper explores the notion that religious texts and the tradition of religious story telling are the content, form or "the movable feast" by which we form and preserve our culture and group identity, and by which we pass them down to the next generations. All these texts are composed of language that is open for analysis and multiple interpretations. Hence, religious beliefs are anchored in language which shapes and reshapes our worldview.
