Escritura, memoria e imaginarios en la literatura judía antigua

Abstract

This article covers the research on the mystical experience that is evident in the prophetic and apocalyptic writings of ancient Judaism, or Second Temple Judaism. Specifically, an analysis is made of the contributions and limits of the two groups of recent biblical studies on this topic. They are the Experientia Group and the Synesthesia Group. Despite the diversity of their composition and objectives, both groups share an interest in interdisciplinary orientation and methodology. Both groups seek to interpret texts and cultural and social phenomena related to the religious experience. What is interesting is the approach of both, not only anthropological in general, but, more specifically, focused on the senses of perception and its relationship with the production of texts that reproduce the religious experience. Both the approach and its objective are not only significant within the disciplinary field of biblical studies in general, since they take further the achievements acquired by previous generations, but also very important to energize and enhance Latin American theological studies, helping to mature. of faith, transcending towards a critical phase, without losing essential anthropological components of the religious experience.
