摘要

利用来自上帝之子的主要文件和对现任和前任成员的采访，我们认为，在20世纪70年代，对这个离经叛道的基督教团体的承诺必须被理解为一个复杂的即时补偿性奖励和惩罚系统。通过这种方式的争论，我们批判性地扩展了斯塔克/班布里奇的宗教理论，该理论低估或忽视了惩罚系统所发挥的关键控制功能。上帝之子的惩罚系统包括有目的的、情感的、物质的、感官的或身体的限制，这些限制在即时和延迟的(即来世)层面上都起作用。

An Expansion of the Rational Choice Approach: Social Control in the Children of God during the 1970s and 1980s

Using primary documents from the Children of God and interviews with current and former members, we argue that commitment to this deviant Christian group during the 1970s must be understood as a complex system of immediate an compensatory rewards and punishments. By arguing in this manner, we critically expand upon the Stark/Bainbridge theory of religion, which underemphasizes or ignores the crucial control functions played by punishment systems. Children of God’s punishment system involved purposive, affective, material, and sensual or bodily restraints, which operated both on immediate and postponed (i.e., otherworldly) levels.
