Abstract

This article is based upon the dialogue between Judaism and Christianity, assuming that religious identity arises from – besides other elements- the Traditional texts. The reflection we propose uses the relationship between the world of the text and the narrative identity, these concepts taken from philosophical hermeneutics by Paul Ricoeur. In other words, the creation of religious identity supposes the hermeneutics of oneself on the mirror of the words, which are taken from the Traditional texts. The objective of this reflection is to understand how this hermeneutics of the self can contribute to the dialogue between two monotheistic traditions that lay the foundation of their identities on the Sacred texts.
