Summary/Abstract: Premises for a Linguistic Approach of the Text of the Sacred Writings Virtues of the Language of Faith as Act of Creation. The present article aims to certify the validity of the assumptions launched by the philosophy of language, as it has been theorized over the centuries by Aristotle, Humboldt, Hegel and, later on, by Eugeniu Coseriu, using the text of the Holy Bible as demonstrative and applicative support. Through his theories in regard to language, more precisely in regard to the creative nature of language, Coseriu recognizes the tridimensionality of the word (ἐνέργεια- enérgeia, δύναμις-dynamis, ἔργον-ergon), previously stated by Aristotle. He thus leads the way towards possible nuances by means of particular employment of the above mentioned tridimensionality. We resort to the text of the Sacred Writ given the fact that it proves itself to be the foremost source in demonstrating what Aristotle names the mood of «potentiality» and of «actuality» of the human being by the power of language.
