Abstract

Any type of discourse, along with its characteristic concepts, operates with its own values. The basis of religious discourse form universal values providing moral guidelines that represent a standard for people of different cultures and eras, which are associated with the ideals of justice and are timeless. Among the universal are cultural, social and moral values. The bulk of religious values form cultural ones in any modern society. Religious beliefs form inner culture of a person. Some religious values can be referred as social and include: meaningful (meaning of life, happiness), universal (life, health), values of interpersonal communication (benevolence), values of public recognition (hard work), democratic values (freedom of speech). In modern society among religious, social and moral (mercy, compassion) values can be distinguished. Religious values can be found within each subgroup of universal human values. The article interprets phenomenon of suffering in modern society, which is an integral component of any world religion and forms the category of value in Christianity. The analysis of suffering in the article was carried out along with the analysis of religious discourse - a special type of institutional communication that combines features of institutional-oriented and personal-oriented phenomenon. The article shows reasons for the occurrence and existence of suffering in any modern society, as well as approaches that exist in various religious systems (Christianity, Islam and Buddhism) to interpreting suffering, attitude to it, need and possibility to overcome it as well as linguistic means to express phenomenon of suffering in world religions.

Summary

Introduction

Understanding and interpretation of various phenomena and objects of the surrounding life is the basis of their acceptance by a person [1]. Within the framework of which phenomenon of suffering will be considered, distinguishes from all other existing types of institutional communication the open postulation of values [2]. According to E.A. Kozhemyakin, one of the features of religious discourse is the “presumption of sincerity of the subject” [3], whose statements can be assessed as “false” or “true”, “correct" or “wrong”, but they can never be “deliberately false” or “manipulative”. One of the main argumentative tactics in religious discourse is appeal to authority. Evaluation in religious discourse is based on moral and moral postulates that form the basis of this religious concept. The basic opposition “good::evil”, which determines the key provisions of a particular religious doctrine, is expressed in specific categories of assessment “good::bad”,
