Religion and language: reflections from Gianni Vattimo and Rubem Alves

In this work we discuss from Vattimo and Rubem Alves on the relations and mutual contributions between the concepts of religion and language giving answers to the problematic of how they relate beyond the notion of religious language. We first indicate how the area of religion languages, in Brazil, thinks the relation between religion and language. We continue to think about how the concept of religion contributes to the concept of language and vice versa. Finally, we present a discussion about how our reflections interact with the theories of religion and, therefore, with the epistemology of the religious studies.
