الحيوان في المتخيل المسيحي : قراءة في قصص القديسين و الفن الكنسي

الملخص EN

The study of the imaginary in Christian religious thought is one of the important studies that helps to explore the depths of this thought and understand the mechanisms of its operation, and the nature of its relationship to general religious thought in which the imagined is a semi-permanent element.

This type of studies is also considered an attempt to deconstruct the cultural structure of a human group belonging to the same cultural-religious record.

This is revealed in the context of the cognitive and intellectual potentials offered by modern studies and curricula - anthropology, psychology, sociology, and religion science - that extends the approach from the circles of faith reading to the circle of the scientific intellectual approach, in order to uncover the essence of religious practices, uncover the mysteries of thinking and surrounding the manifestations of religious discourse in Christian culture.

We chose to stop at the image of the animal in the Christian imaginary, seeking to examine the religious absurdity and the studies of the transformations that it witnessed in the context of a thought mixing between the real and the myth.
