Value and Truth as language of religious experience: The “poetic name of God” in the literature of Evangelical Christianities originating

Abstract

The article affirms, from Paul Ricoeur and Michel de Certeau’s perspective, that the rising Jewish-Christian religious experience in the first century resulted from a historical drama. That is to say, it provided the setting of a crisis of mentality which went beyond the literary elaboration of symbols and mythos of the early  Christianity. Moreover, we seek to assess which sort of mental structure was being generating in the historical, political and religious setting of Christianity in the first century, so that it has been possible the creation of values and truths that has spread allover the Western culture, causing, as a result the German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s visceral and aristocratic rebelion.

Keywords:  Religious Experience; Christian Judaism; Ethico-religious Pathos; Values, Truth.
