The reflection proposed in this study is centered on the possibility that the New Paradigm System , as conceived by the American physicist Fritjof Capra, gives to the fundamentals of an epistemological model which is able to integrate the points of view, to the debate about the divergent scientific treatment of religious phenomena. The history of the religious sciences is marked by the epistemological dilemma: to explain or understand religion? Nature sciences are contrary to the sciences of the spirit, which differ from the former, by the object, by the object, by the method and by the relationship between the subject and the object. The continuing debate of the XIX and the XX centuries raised the impossibility to define a scientific model that was at its core, an integration of the divergent point of view, by virtue of the principles that led the scientific paradigm. Nevertheless, the emergence of the paradigm of live beings or the complexity raised by Physics to affirm the systemic character of reality, the non-existence of autonomous parts, that the totality keeps the characteristics of non-existence in its parts, that the concrete material is energy on the subatomic level; that at subatomic level the substance doesn t exist in definite places with certainty, show only the tendency to exist. Other discoveries enabled scientists to confirm the existence of the new paradigm, in which analysis, regularity, and objective categories that represent the previous are replaced by synthesis, irregularity and epistemic conduct.The emerging paradigm enabled the construction of an epistemic model of scientific knowledge, that we point out as responsible for the validity of the phenomenological posture, as conceived by G. van der Leeuw and F. Heiler, at the same time that enables the integration of divergent points of view in the debate amongst the two strams: explanation/comprehension. Key words: science, religion, paradigm, epistemology, systemic, phenomenology.(AU)
