Abstract
The article proposes in dialogue with the Bakhtin’s theory an interpretation of the religion as infinity of possibilities. The concepts of dialogism, polyphony and unfinalibility criticize the reducionistic theories of the languages of religion. The perspective based on the Bakhtin’s theory opens horizon meaning for interpretation of languages of religion that inhabit the chaos-world as place of religious experiences which characteristics are the poiesis and the concrete situations, that originate the singularities in the languages of religions. Dialogism as a theory of culture and as a philosophy of life, polyphony as theory of novels and unfinalibility as a theory of history constitute the theoretical approach of an interpretation of languages of religion in their processes, future making and cultural transformation.
