What role do texts play in religious practice? What is the
relationship between these texts and cognition? Are some texts more
successful because they are better adapted to our cognitive
structures? Why is biblical interpretation necessary, and what is
the cognitive process behind it? This book considers such
questions, and fills the gap in research on religious texts and
narratives in the cognitive science of religion. The study of
ancient religions and biblical studies are dominated by textual
evidence. However, the cognitive science of religion is lacking
significant research on the language and textual interpretation of
this literature. This book presents a systematic attempt to
redefine the interpretation of religious texts in a cognitive
framework, providing concrete textual analysis on a broad selection
of biblical passages. It explores the ways that cognitive
approaches to language and textual interpretation expand the
disciplines of the cognitive science of religion and biblical
studies. This book brings together methodology from the cognitive
sciences, linguistics, philology, biblical studies, and religious
studies, to offer a new perspective for biblical studies and
cognitive sciences. It presents a renewed vision of textual
interpretation - one that aligns hermeneutical reflection with our
cognitive capacities.
