In this book, Steven G. Smith focuses on the guidance function in
language and scripture and evaluates the assumptions and ideals of
scriptural religion in global perspective. He brings to language
studies a new pragmatic emphasis on the shared modeling of
life-in-the-world by communicators constantly depending on each
other's guidance. Using concepts of axiality and axialization
derived from Jaspers' description of the 'Axial Age', he shows the
essential role of scripture in the historical progress of
communicative action. This volume clarifies the formative power of
scriptures in religions of the 'world religion' type and brings
scripture into philosophy of religion as a major cross-cultural
category of study, thereby helping philosophy of religion find a
needed cross-cultural footing.
