ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents an overview of some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book investigates a number of theoretical reflections on the relationship between literature and sacred scripture. It demonstrates the ways in which these theories may allow to identify subtextual preoccupations with aspects of scriptural narrative, or even the notion of the divine. The book offers as examples of personal reflections on scriptures that have been taken over by political discourses that are perceived to be using them as a basis for undifferentiated collective identity. It deals with aspects of religious discourse or notions of the divine in very personalized ways. The book explores how sacred narrative merges with individual experience, and challenging the radical voices that have an alienating effect on many who might wish to engage with sacred scripture on different terms.
