Abstract The history of interreligious encounters is marked by the cross-reading of the Classics that, through their form and content, determine specific episteme and belief systems. «Sacred» books are inserted into larger canonical ensembles, and religious shifts caused by textual encounters do not originate in the reading of the former only. This article starts with one of these encounters, that between Chinese scholars and Jesuit missionaries in the 17th and 18th centuries. It relies on the teachings drawn from this case to sketch a path from Gadamer’s hermeneutics to «dialogic hermeneutics». In this light it reads the theological endeavor – and not only Christian theology – as marked by a migratory tension, which makes of any «local theology» the virtual space of an intercultural crossing.
