Religious texts wield language for more than simply transmitting information. This article investigates the pragmatics of sentences within these texts, uncovering how meaning is constructed through factors like context, speaker's intention, and shared knowledge between the author and the audience. By examining these pragmatic elements, the article unveils how religious texts utilize language to persuade, motivate, and cultivate a sense of community among their adherents.
