The Relationship between Religion and Culture from the Perspective of Theology and Anthropology 1
There is a very close relationship between religion and culture. Religion comes to life and acquires meaning within a specific cultural environment. Just as religion shapes culture over time, culture, in turn, brings about certain changes and transformations in the structure and meaning of religion. Therefore, in addition to a theological perspective, religion must also be approached culturally. Drawing boundaries on this topic is certainly not easy, but it is possible to progress by developing a specific approach. Driven by this concern, this study, which brings together theological and anthropological writings of researchers from different disciplines, highlights the need to consider cultural processes in understanding religion. Thus, an effort has been made to create a unified understanding among these studies based on a multidisciplinary approach. We hope that this work will open doors to new areas of research.
