The present paper is going to deal with the question whether Hermeneutics can be considered and used as a methodology in religious knowledge. Since the question seems ambiguous in the first look, the author first of all proceeds to make it clear by explaining the main single words. Then, the paper classifies different approaches taken by Hermeneutists to the question. And finally, he describes his selected opinion. In particular, the article claims that hermeneutical theory can be used as methodology in religious sciences both in the context of justification and the context of discovery. It should be emphasized that such possibility has not fully put in practice yet.
