宗教的文化和精神宝库是塑造后世俗时代公众和文化生活不可或缺的资源。尽管文化上感兴趣的“朝圣者”和精神上“着迷”的游客的涌入已经在全国的文化地图上标出了宗教遗址，但宗教遗址还没有实现整体的解释体验，这将揭示教会艺术的更深层次含义。欧洲基督教教堂缺乏对基督教传统有形和无形(信仰)方面的全面解释，这可能会破坏游客的认知和情感方面。本文通过对欧洲东正教、天主教会和新教教堂的解读进行专题分析，探讨了宗教场所如何采用不同的解读策略来传播他们的故事。通过两种共存的文化意识形态--新博物馆学所表达的突出的后现代文化范式和表达宗教传统和愿景的宗教文化范式--在宗教场所发现的遗产实践，讨论了调查结果。研究得出的结论是，一个教派在新博物馆学的后现代文化范式上表现出的内容越多，它就越有可能尝试后现代解释策略。在此背景下，本文提出了博物馆理论是否适用于宗教场景的问题。归根结底，利益相关者的本体论预设是宗教历史、传统和信仰如何在宗教环境中谈判和呈现的催化剂。
The cultural and spiritual repository of religion is an indispensable resource for shaping public and cultural life in a post-secular era. Although the floods of culturally intrigued ‘pilgrims’ and spiritually ‘captivated’ tourists have marked religious sites on nationwide cultural maps, religious sites have yet to achieve a holistic interpretative experience which will reveal the deeper meanings of ecclesiastical art. The absence of ‘holistic interpretations’ from European Christian churches, addressing the tangible and intangible (faith) aspect of Christian tradition, run the risk of undermining both the cognitive and emotive aspects of visitors. Following a thematic analysis on interpretations found at Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant churches in Europe, this article investigates how religious sites adapt different interpretational strategies to communicate their stories. The findings are discussed with reference to heritage practices found at religious sites expressed through two coexisting cultural ideologies: the prominent postmodern cultural paradigm, expressed through New Museology, and the religious cultural paradigm, expressing religious tradition and vision. The research concludes that the more content a denomination appears to be over the postmodern cultural paradigm of New Museology, the more likely it is to experiment with postmodern interpretative strategies. In this context, the article raises the question of whether museum theory is applicable to religious settings. The bottom line is that stakeholders’ ontological presuppositions are the catalyst of how religious history, tradition, and faith, are negotiated and presented in religious settings.
