Sacred Texts and Their Historical Interpretations: A Comparative Study

Abstract

The study of sacred texts and their historical interpretations is essential for understanding the dynamics between religion, culture, and society. This comparative study explores the historical interpretations of key sacred texts from three major world religions: Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. The research aims to identify how these texts have been interpreted over time, influenced by social, political, and philosophical contexts. By analyzing different interpretations through historical lenses, the paper seeks to highlight the evolving role of sacred texts in shaping religious and social norms. This comparative analysis contributes to the broader field of religious studies, offering new insights into interreligious dialogue and the commonalities and divergences in sacred text interpretations across cultures.
