Summary/Abstract: Reading always represents an individual’s going out toward meaning, though that meaning is not always recognizable. Regiewicz starts from the New Testament scene of Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the resurrected Christ in the garden to describe the interpretational situation through a kerygmatic lens. Adopting a comparative perspective, he makes the traditional Biblical exegesis overlap with elements of somatic criticism, revealing significant points of ‘contact’ as key moments of existential experience, also in relation to the text’s reading. Touching meaning, like Christ’s body after the resurrection, belongs to the order of faith, that is to say a certain openness to ‘grace’; it also challenges us to be keenly engaged in our reading.
