Linguistics is the study of language and its structure, exploring how we communicate through words and symbols. In the context of religion, linguistics examines how religious language shapes beliefs, rituals, and identities. It looks at sacred texts, prayers, and sermons to understand how language conveys spiritual meaning and fosters community. This intersection reveals how language influences religious experiences, interpretations, and cultural practices, highlighting the powerful role of words in shaping our understanding of the divine and our relationships with others.
