Abstract

The article is devoted to reveal eternal theological causes of misunderstanding as the greatest purpose of inter-religious dialogue. Judaic and Islamic Theologies closely related by history and causality of origin face a challenge caused by social and political dimension of the contemporary world. Searching the mechanisms of understanding it becomes a key problem within both philosophical and theological aspects. Understanding is both a phenomenon of Theology (understanding God, the Sacred Text) and the goal of exegetics, which unfolds in the context of confronting the universal evil. At the cognition level it is the evil of misunderstanding that relates to the distortions of a natural language and detracts from the truth. On the level of values it is the need for an inter-religious dialogue to overcome the fragmentation struggle of ideas against destructive infernal force of informational field provokes disunity and wars.
