Is Discussing Controversial Issues in RE a Magic Bullet to Promote Social Cohesion? Mapping Opportunities and Challenges Based on Previous Research 讨论RE中的争议问题是促进社会凝聚力的灵丹妙药吗?基于以往研究的机遇与挑战映射

In the public debate, it is often argued that RE is important because it promotes social cohesion. In the academic debate, however, this position is controversial because, firstly, this goal is associated with a politicization of RE and, secondly, empirical evidence on whether or how RE causes this effect seems to be lacking. In this article, I argue first that cohesion is an adequate subgoal of RE, assuming a social rather than a state-political understanding of cohesion. Second, I refer to international studies on teaching controversial issues (CIs), which show that students can learn participation, tolerance, and common good orientation through high-quality exploration of CIs in class. However, due to methodological difficulties and negative side effects, the discussion of CIs in RE cannot be assumed to be a magic bullet for achieving cohesion. For instance, uncertainties and ambiguities accompany forms of dissent in the classroom, which may lead to authoritarian dispositions and political intolerance. In addition, there are particular challenges for inclusive and especially denominational RE in terms of teachers, issues, students, and external factors.
在公开辩论中,人们经常认为可再生能源很重要,因为它能促进社会凝聚力。然而,在学术辩论中,这一立场是有争议的,因为首先,这一目标与可再生能源的政治化有关,其次,似乎缺乏关于可再生能源是否或如何造成这种影响的经验证据。在这篇文章中,我首先认为,凝聚力是RE的一个适当的子目标,假设对凝聚力的社会而非国家政治理解。其次,我参考了国际上关于教学争议问题(CI)的研究,这些研究表明,学生可以通过在课堂上高质量地探索CI来学习参与、宽容和共同的良好导向。然而,由于方法上的困难和负面副作用,不能认为RE中对CI的讨论是实现凝聚力的灵丹妙药。例如,不确定性和模糊性伴随着课堂上各种形式的异议,这可能导致独裁倾向和政治不容忍。此外,在教师、问题、学生和外部因素方面,包容性特别是教派RE面临着特殊的挑战。

This study asks: “How do young adults theologise?” It explores creative processes of navigating a gap or a wound experienced by Finnish young adults’ between their personal beliefs and values and the Lutheran religious tradition. The dramatic religious decline and change among young adults has been shown in many studies. Here, the situation is explored through co-theologising with young adults. Based on narrative-discursive analysis of reflexive interviews, the study depicts three modes of theologising: 1) Cognitive theologising explores faith expressed in words, 2) Affective theologising focuses on the power of sensing and feeling, and 3) Practical theologising looks at the human potential and capacity to act. The aim of these modes is not to bridge the gap or heal the wound but to describe and understand it. In the end, these ‘acts of theologising’ are put together, pointing to novel methodological approaches embracing uncertainty and doubt, such as holistic theologising.
这项研究问道:“年轻人是如何神化的?”它探索了芬兰年轻人在个人信仰和价值观与路德宗教传统之间的差距或创伤的创造性过程。许多研究表明,年轻人的宗教信仰急剧下降和变化。在这里,这种情况是通过与年轻人的共同神学来探索的。基于对反身访谈的叙事话语分析,本研究描绘了三种神学家模式:1)认知神学家探索用言语表达的信仰,2)情感神学家关注感知和感觉的力量,3)实践神学家关注人类的潜力和行动能力。这些模式的目的不是弥合差距或治愈创伤,而是描述和理解它。最终,这些“神学家行为”被放在一起,指向了包含不确定性和怀疑的新方法论方法,如整体神学家。

Christmas in Norwegian Kindergartens: How Are Muslim Children Included? 挪威幼儿园的圣诞节:穆斯林儿童是如何被包括在内的?

Like the rest of Norwegian society, Norwegian kindergartens are becoming increasingly diverse in terms of religion. This is also reflected in the governing documents of kindergartens, which state that they should work with religion. This article explores to what extent Christmas in kindergartens is adapted to include Muslim children in the group. The article is based on interviews with six kindergarten teachers conducted between 2020 and 2022. Perspectives related to inclusion, freedom of religion, and previous research are used as a starting point to discuss the findings. The article highlights that adaptations of Christmas traditions are largely focused on ensuring that all children have the opportunity to participate in activities without being seen as practicing a specific religion. There is minimal focus on adapting the content to better suit a multireligious group of children.
就像挪威社会的其他部分一样,挪威幼儿园的宗教信仰也越来越多样化。这也反映在幼儿园的管理文件中,其中规定他们应该与宗教合作。本文探讨了幼儿园的圣诞节在多大程度上适应了穆斯林儿童的群体。这篇文章是基于对6名幼儿园教师在2020年至2022年间进行的采访。与包容、宗教自由和以往研究相关的观点被用作讨论研究结果的起点。文章强调,对圣诞节传统的适应主要集中在确保所有儿童都有机会参与活动,而不会被视为从事特定的宗教活动。很少关注如何调整内容以更好地适应多宗教儿童群体。

Given the increasing interest in academic citizenship in higher education, this study examines the civic purposes of higher education students in two European countries, namely the Netherlands and Finland, and relations between students’ worldviews and their civic purposes. The majority of students was categorized as so-called disengaged or dreamers, respectively either not civically interested or active or then visioning but not actualizing civic interests. Students with a purposeful profile referring to high civic interest, action, and identity, were most prevalent among Dutch students with a humanistic worldview and Finnish students reporting religions other than Christianity. Students from both countries not identifying with any organized worldviews were more likely to be allocated to the disengaged profile. Possible explanations for differences in student profiles are discussed.
鉴于高等教育对学术公民的兴趣日益浓厚,本研究考察了两个欧洲国家,即荷兰和芬兰,高等教育学生的公民目的,以及学生世界观与公民目的之间的关系。大多数学生被归类为所谓的“不参与”或“梦想家”,分别是对公民利益不感兴趣或不积极,或者有愿景但没有实现公民利益。在具有人文主义世界观的荷兰学生和芬兰学生中,具有高度公民兴趣、行动和身份认同的有目的的学生最为普遍。这两个国家的学生都不认同任何有组织的世界观,他们更有可能被分配到不参与的类别。讨论了学生概况差异的可能解释。

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is studied among Dutch and German university students and staff, at the inception of the pandemic in April 2020. The effects of conditions of study and work are studied on mental health, while taking into account the adaptive function of meaning and controlling for relevant demographic characteristics. Results indicate that negative experiences of study and work affect various dimensions of mental health and differ for Dutch and German university contexts. Meaning acts as a resource for mental health, especially regarding dimensions of meaningfulness and trust. Programs for university care are called for in which the insights of this study are taken into account.
在2020年4月新冠肺炎大流行开始时,对荷兰和德国大学生和教职员工进行了研究。研究了学习和工作条件对心理健康的影响,同时考虑了意义的适应功能和对相关人口特征的控制。结果表明,学习和工作的负面经历会影响心理健康的各个方面,荷兰和德国大学的情况不同。意义是心理健康的资源,尤其是在意义和信任方面。大学护理项目需要考虑到这项研究的见解。

Religion and Attitude towards Sustainability 宗教与对可持续性的态度
IF 0.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-06-30 DOI: 10.1163/15709256-20231140
Ulrich Riegel
Climate change and sustainable lifestyles are discussed intensely in civil society, again. Unlike in the the 1970s and 1980s, however, religious communities seem to play a minor role in this discussion. This raises the question of the importance of religion in regard to an ecological attitude. Based on a sample of N = 4131 (former) church members (age: 14 to 89 years – 47% females – 60% with Bachelor-degree of better), this paper analyzes the effect of centrality of religion (as personal indicator in regard of religion) and membership status (as institutional indicator in regard of religion) on values addressing ecology. The findings indicate that church members and religious individuals show a more positive ecological attitude than individuals that did have disaffiliated from church or are not religious. Highly religious respondents, however, are less concerned with ecology than religious ones. Moreover, the effect of membership status is not significant anymore when socio-demographic variables are added as well as when lifestyle is added. The paper will discuss these findings within the framework of the theoretical distinction between ‘old’ and ‘new’ style of political participation.
民间社会再次热烈讨论气候变化和可持续生活方式。然而,与20世纪70年代和80年代不同的是,宗教团体似乎在这场讨论中发挥了次要作用。这就提出了宗教在生态态度方面的重要性问题。基于N=4131名(前)教会成员(年龄:14至89岁,47%为女性,60%为本科以上学历)的样本,本文分析了宗教中心性(作为宗教方面的个人指标)和成员地位(作为宗教领域的制度指标)对生态价值观的影响。研究结果表明,教会成员和宗教人士比脱离教会或不信教的人表现出更积极的生态态度。然而,与宗教受访者相比,高度宗教化的受访者更不关心生态问题。此外,当加入社会人口变量和生活方式时,会员身份的影响不再显著。本文将在“旧”和“新”政治参与风格的理论区别框架内讨论这些发现。

In this study, we analyze how do safety and closeness, or the lack of them, affect religious socialization in Finnish families. Our empirical data consist of family interviews and a large survey data. As a result, three key dimensions were found: 1) the atmosphere in families, 2) the atmosphere related to religious communities, and 3) the atmosphere related to one’s own spirituality. Our study suggests several implications both for practice in religious and other communities of existential meaning and for the study of those communities and empirical theologies. The study is part of the international research project “The transmission of religion across generations: a comparative international study of continuities and discontinuities in family socialization”, funded by Templeton Foundation.
在这项研究中,我们分析了安全和亲密,或缺乏安全和亲密如何影响芬兰家庭的宗教社会化。我们的实证数据包括家庭访谈和大量调查数据。因此,发现了三个关键维度:1)家庭中的氛围,2)与宗教团体有关的氛围,以及3)与自己的精神有关的氛围。我们的研究对宗教和其他具有存在意义的社区的实践以及对这些社区和经验神学的研究提出了一些启示。这项研究是由邓普顿基金会资助的国际研究项目“宗教代代相传:家庭社会化的连续性和不连续性的国际比较研究”的一部分。

Theology’s Concern for Wellbeing and Human Flourishing: A Research Program 神学对健康与人类繁荣的关注:一个研究项目
IF 0.8 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-04-11 DOI: 10.1163/15709256-20231135
This article proposes a new perspective for theology calling for fresh studies on religion and coping, resilience, wellbeing and flourishing. These studies have grown far from theological areas and could be seen as quite strange to that tradition, its methods, and views. However, theology can learn a lot from these new studies when trying to update its message of salvation, endowing it with a more explicit content and can offer interesting points to other treaties, like Christian Anthropology and Practical Theology. To that end the article reports and briefly reviews those relevant developments, tries to address several doubts and to connect better theology with that research, after assuming a more pragmatic and empirical stance.
本文为神学提出了一个新的视角,呼吁对宗教与应对、韧性、幸福感和繁荣进行新的研究。这些研究与神学领域相距甚远,可以被视为对传统、方法和观点相当陌生。然而,神学在试图更新其救赎信息时,可以从这些新研究中学到很多东西,赋予其更明确的内容,并可以为其他条约提供有趣的观点,如基督教人类学和实践神学。为此,本文报告并简要回顾了这些相关的发展,试图解决一些疑问,并在采取更务实和实证的立场后,将更好的神学与该研究联系起来。

This article makes international debates on religious literacy as well as forms of assessment in RE related to these debates its starting point by identifying the lack of an empirical basis for the respective discussions. A questionnaire for 15-year-old pupils with a focus on religious knowledge, based on prior studies and tried out in Finland, Germany and Sweden is introduced. The results, although not representative, allow for comparative evaluation, comparing the results at country level and in reference to different kinds of religion-related knowledge. Possible influences of the different curricula are identified by comparing different degrees of familiarity with certain topics or religions in relation to when the respective curriculum foresees them being treated. The article is meant to demonstrate that meaningful international research on religious knowledge as part of religious literacy is possible, that its results could inform RE and show the possible value of developing such efforts further.
本文通过确定各自讨论缺乏经验基础,使有关宗教素养的国际辩论以及与这些辩论相关的可再生能源评估形式成为其出发点。本文介绍了一份针对15岁学生的宗教知识调查问卷,该问卷基于先前的研究,并在芬兰、德国和瑞典试用过。这些结果虽然不具有代表性,但可以进行比较评估,在国家一级比较结果,并参考不同种类的宗教相关知识。不同课程可能产生的影响是通过比较学生对某些主题或宗教的不同熟悉程度,以及相应课程预计如何处理这些主题或宗教来确定的。本文旨在证明,作为宗教素养的一部分,对宗教知识进行有意义的国际研究是可能的,其结果可以为RE提供信息,并显示进一步发展此类努力的可能价值。

The article is meant to demonstrate that meaningful international research on religious knowledge as part of religious literacy is possible, that its results could inform RE and show the possible value of developing such efforts further.","PeriodicalId":42786,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Empirical Theology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44733896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quantitative study undertakes a systematic investigation of the church-related donation practice in the context of the Protestant Church in Germany. The characteristic logics of membership and participation in this publicly regulated institutionalized church are considered as well as the multidimensionality of donation practice. Religious donations are located at the interface of the individual and the church institution. Key explanatory factors for financial giving emerge: objective and subjective costs, opportunities and occasions, institutional identification and reputation, social context, prayer practice, competition, and mediatized publics. Rational choice, generalized reciprocity, and risk and trust calculations act as guiding theories. The empirical findings are connected to a general theory of religious behavior. Implications for church fundraising, church financing, and church membership are discussed.
定量研究以德国新教为背景,对教会捐赠实践进行了系统的调查。考虑了这个受公共监管的制度化教会的成员资格和参与的特征逻辑,以及捐赠实践的多维性。宗教捐赠位于个人和教会机构的界面。财政捐赠的关键解释因素出现了:客观和主观成本、机会和场合、机构认同和声誉、社会背景、祈祷实践、竞争和中介公众。理性选择、广义互惠、风险和信任计算是指导理论。实证研究结果与宗教行为的一般理论有关。讨论了对教会筹款、教会融资和教会成员资格的影响。
