Understanding Theosemiotic: Concept and its Position

This manuscript explores the concept of theosemiotics, a term that signifies the intersection of semiotic theory and theological interpretation. Originating from the work of Michael L. Raposa and grounded in Charles Sander Peirce’s semiotic framework, theosemiotics is presented as a means to understand religious semiotics, particularly within Islamic and Christian contexts. Through a detailed examination of its historical development, theoretical underpinnings, and potential for bridging science and religion, the manuscript highlights theosemiotics as a promising area for academic research. It argues for the relevance of theological semiotics in contemporary discussions on the integration of religious perspectives with scientific inquiry, offering a comprehensive analysis of signs in the divine context. This study contributes to the broader discourse on the role of religion in the public sphere and the ongoing dialogue between faith and reason.
