Abstract

In this essay, we study the ascendancy of the concept of “religions of salvation”, discovering the continuities and discontinuities that characterize this heritage. It is demonstrated that this concept is not a system of religious classification. It is, above all, a theoretical tool for understanding the effectiveness of religious symbolism. The presentation of two different socio-cultural contexts – in Africa and the North Atlantic – shows the plasticity of the practices and doctrines of salvation.
