Solar Hermeneutics, an Imperative for African Traditional Religion and Solar Religion in General
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: Hermeneutics, as a theory of interpretation, has a long tradition in Western thought. In Africa however this science has always been seen within the context of the Western thought. The statement of a naturalized epistemology of African indigenous knowledge, the demonstrated existence of a solar religion characterizing the civilizations of Egypt, Sumer, as well as primitive Christianity and traditional Africa, all of this coupled to the demonstrated scientific nature of the solar religion indicates the existence of an approach of interpretation of religious texts and discourses exclusively appropriate to solar cultures. This new approach distinguishes the scientific content from the cultural one, and judges the religious records by a comparative study of its scientific content with a systematic natural theology which provides an unbiased scientific standard of the “Word of God”. Keywords:Hermeneutics, religious texts, spiritual content.
