Abstract

ABSTRACT The issue of the retention of religious belief within families has recently begun to attract researchers [Christian Smith and David Sikkink, “Social Predictors of Retention in and Switching from the Religious Faith of Family of Origin: Another Look Using Religious Tradition Self-Identification,” Review of Religious Research 45, no. 2 (2003): 188–206. Accessed October 23, 2020. doi:10.2307/3512582. This includes a helpful summary of recent research]. This paper examines the family history of a prominent East Midlands Baptist family of the early 1800s to identify how faith changed over generations. The Felkin family moved from poor stocking weavers to regionally important Baptist leaders and wealthy industrialists within two generations; thereafter they gained access to higher education and social circles, with a decline in Baptist identity to the extent that some embraced other religions.

宗教信仰在家庭内部的保留问题最近开始吸引研究者[Christian Smith和David Sikkink,“原生家庭宗教信仰保留和转换的社会预测因素:使用宗教传统自我认同的另一个视角”,《宗教研究评论》第45期,第2期。2(2003): 188-206。于2020年10月23日发布。doi: 10.2307 / 3512582。这包括对最近研究的有益总结]。本文考察了19世纪早期一个著名的东米德兰浸信会家庭的家族史,以确定信仰是如何在几代人之间发生变化的。费尔金家族在两代人之内从贫穷的织袜工变成了当地重要的浸信会领袖和富有的实业家;此后,他们获得了接受高等教育和社交圈的机会,浸信会身份的下降到了一些人接受其他宗教的程度。
