Abstract

How do people perceive their own religious, spiritual or atheist biography? This is a question that our research team has been focusing on for nearly two decades. Our developmental perspective critically, but constructively relates to Fowler’s (1981) Faith Development Theory, as described in Streib’s (2001) approach of religious styles, paying tribute to the fact that development is not, in most cases, a linear upward process. By combining Fowler’s structural evaluation method with approaches to content analyses, this paper will show the merit of these qualitative methods when looking at (religious) development in different surroundings. For that purpose, we present case studies with different cultural backgrounds. Their different trajectories and possible commonalities will be shown on a structural as well as on a content level. This approach enables us to reconstruct movement within the religious field and will show how this is displayed on a subjective, biographical level.
跨文化视角下宗教与非宗教传记的发展
人们如何看待自己的宗教、精神或无神论传记?这是我们的研究团队近二十年来一直关注的问题。我们的发展观点与福勒(1981)的信仰发展理论(Streib(2001)的宗教风格研究方法中所描述的)有批判性的、但具有建设性的联系,该理论认为,在大多数情况下,发展不是一个线性的上升过程。通过将福勒的结构评价方法与内容分析方法相结合,本文将展示这些定性方法在观察不同环境下(宗教)发展时的优点。为此,我们提出了不同文化背景的案例研究。它们的不同轨迹和可能的共性将在结构和内容层面上显示出来。这种方法使我们能够重建宗教领域内的运动,并将展示这是如何在主观的、传记的层面上展示的。
