Abstract

Religious experience is the most distinctive experience among human existential experiences, and this is due to a transcendental relation which has its origin in an extraterrestrial and immaterial truth. The main problem here is how the relationship between religious experience and aesthetic experience (Artistic). Artistic language as a visible and understandable language to every human being, therefore, it how can within the aesthetic experience help to religious experience? Religious truth is an existential phenomenon; thus, its language is Revealing of Being. Since religious truth is expressed in coded language, not understandable for all human beings. Gadamer assume that truth is represented for audience in a pictorial frame or on display Scene and other artistic examples in a naked form regardless of linguistic complexities (written language) and the deepest and broadest range of understanding is achieved accordingly. So, Where complex and symbolic language of religion become heavy, artistic language (poetry, literature, theater, music, imaging, etc.) compensate that loss and paved the way for transferring religious concepts. The work of art receives richness and depth by religious content and therefor, the religious and aesthetic experience in the field of hermeneutics, establishes mutual interactivity that leads to an extension of existance.
