Abstract

This article is a contribution to the discourse on religion and development. The contribution seeks to investigate the role of religious conceptualisations in development. Theological anthropology, and specifically the Christian doctrine of the imago Dei, is critically analysed from the historical-biblical approach, a feminist and postcolonial approach, and a contextual approach. Themes such as progression, responsibility, relationships, and the spiritual dimension of personhood are identified as contributing toward the role of religion in development. Drawing from theological concepts such as “vocation,” “rule,” “image,” and “likeness,” the specific connections between religion and development derives from the central theological anthropological doctrine of the imago Dei. The themes that are identified are not explored exhaustively but are nonetheless highlighted as markers that should be considered by both practitioners and academics in the broad-based development discourse and practices. The limitations of the modernisation and materialistic approaches of the post-war period are countered by the centrality of personhood.

宗教与发展
这篇文章是对宗教与发展的论述的贡献。该贡献旨在调查宗教概念化在发展中的作用。神学人类学,特别是基督教关于上帝意象的教义,从历史-圣经的角度,从女权主义和后殖民的角度,从语境的角度进行批判性分析。诸如进步、责任、关系和人格的精神维度等主题被认为有助于宗教在发展中的作用。从“天职”、“规则”、“形象”和“相似”等神学概念出发,宗教与发展之间的具体联系源于上帝形象的核心神学人类学教义。所确定的主题并没有被详尽地探讨,但仍然被强调为实践者和学者在广泛的发展话语和实践中应该考虑的标志。战后时期现代化和物质主义方法的局限性被人格的中心地位所抵消。
