Religion is a phenomenon, which can be examined in various scientific paradigms, within different disciplines. The hermeneutic turn and the linguistic turn have made us aware that it is not possible to distance oneself from the subject of the research, which means that a theologian, engaged in this matter in religious terms, is not different from a religion researcher who does not commence conducting such research for religious reasons. As a result, the attempt to construct trans-religious reflection is also presented as a kind of a narration, involved, in this case, in religious relativism. However, referring to the category of motivation of the author, it must be admitted that in a valid and not discrediting manner it can have religious features and it does not result in the fact that a text written from such a motivation ceases to be a scientific text. A narration assumed by dogmatic theology is, therefore, such a manner of speaking which reveals its religious involvement and makes the text clear in this respect, which proves its hermeneutic transparency.
