The introductory talk aims to provide a general overview, within which subsequent talks will address specific issues at the intersection of geopolitics and interreligious dialogue. This panel explores the connection among the hermeneutics of sacred texts, political power, and eschatological visions. Specifically, it aims to highlight the questions that emerge from the interaction among the interpretation of sacred texts — which contributes to the construction of religious imaginaries — the horizon of meaning, including its ultimate destination, and political legitimacy. The goal is to acquire tools to address the complexity of this interaction, with a particular focus on inequality.
