Abstract
Through the hermeneutics of secularization, this article aims to continue delving into the most recent and innovative interpretations of Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera’s work. Specifically, it discusses various and apparently contradictory sides of his spiritual dimension as well as his ideological alignment with the political agenda of Porfirio Díaz’ regime. For that purpose, a small number of Nájera’s writings are analyzed which illustrate some manisfestations of the secularization process of Mexico in the second half of the 19th century, such as the different fortune of various religious celebrations, the re-reading of genres such as homiletics or biblical exegesis or journalistic debates of political-religious content.
