In the context of globalization of the modern world one of the main \nobjectives of human society is promoting of spiritual dialogue and \nunderstanding. Unfortunately, all around the world we can see evidence of \nthe rise of religious intolerance. In these circumstances, it is important to \ndevelop a variety of coping mechanisms to overcome the crisis. Being a \nhumanitarian science, linguistics should not remain aloof from this global \nproblem and must contribute to addressing this issue. \n \nIn this article we have attempted to show how biblical texts are reflected in \nthe phraseology of the Azerbaijani language. The latter belongs to the \nTurkic group of languages and its native speakers are mostly Muslims. We \nfound over 100 examples of variations of biblical quotes in Azeri language \nand literature, which is an indicator of assimilation of Christian values in \nAzerbaijani culture. \n \nFor example, Azeri proverb \"Allah ürəyincə versin!\" is a direct translation \nfrom the Psalms of the Old Testament: «May God give thee according to \nthy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.\" \n(Psalms 19:5). \n \nThe presence of biblical phraseology in the Azerbaijani language underlines \nour argument in favor of dialogue and mutual understanding between the \npeople of different religions and cultures.
