The plurality of meaning in religious texts

One of the important questions considered in every theory of interpretation regards unity versus plurality of the true meaning of the text. This paper, as a descriptive-critical research built on data collection and library documents, has tried to get help from the principles derived from sciences such as linguistics, hermeneutics and principles of jurisprudence, in order to demonstrate that the plurality of true meanings in religious texts is possible, desirable and achievable, and does not fall into trap of problems such as relativity. To investigate this issue, first the general fundamentals of the plurality of meaning in texts are considered. Then, the plurality of meaning in non-religious texts is examined and finally the plurality of meaning in religious texts has been studied.
