The Relationship between Religion and Culture from the Perspective of Theology and Anthropology 2
There is a vibrant connection between religious experience and the shaping of culture. While religious experience constructs culture, the cultural environment can also play a significant role in shaping religion and make its presence felt in the construction of religious texts. In this respect, the relationship between religion and culture often necessitates an anthropological perspective. With this study, we hope to contribute to the general readership's reading of texts from different fields on the relationship between religion and culture, while adhering to the acquis of social sciences and the multidisciplinary approach in our country. We hope that these studies, which can be considered a tentative effort, will pave the way for more ambitious studies. Of course, this series of studies primarily consists of texts dominated by Islamic terminology. Within this framework, the understanding and approaches of different branches of Islamic scholarship are crucial for a better understanding of religion and its place within the Islamic tradition. This is because religion is ultimately a social institution, and as such, it exhibits a dynamic structure. At the same time, this structure is subject to constant change and transformation, thus undergoing differentiation. In this context, a good understanding of the change and transformation of religion will help us reach the best conclusions about the past, present and future visions of religion.
