摘要

加纳的新先知教会是发展最快的教会,受到了高度批评,但人们对其教义和对青少年会众的潜在影响知之甚少。本研究探讨了新先知教会教义的内容及其对青少年会众幸福感和性格发展的影响。在加纳阿克拉的一个新先知教会,对20名年龄在13至19岁之间的青少年进行了半结构化访谈。经过专题分析,研究结果表明,尽管新先知教会的教义具有积极的内容,使青少年具备美德、生存和领导技能,以及对职业发展的支持,但也有负面因素可能导致青少年发展为抑郁和自卑、缺乏推理和辨别能力,以及对妇女潜在的消极态度。讨论了研究结果的含义。

The Impacts of Teachings of a Neo-Prophetic Church on Adolescents’ Well-being and Character Development
Neo-Prophetic churches in Ghana are the fastest growing churches and have been highly criticised, but little is known about their teachings and potential impacts on adolescent congregants. The present study explored the content and impacts of the teachings of a Neo-Prophetic church on the well-being and character development of adolescent congregants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 adolescents aged between thirteen to nineteen years in a Neo-Prophetic church in Accra, Ghana. Following thematic analysis, the findings suggest that although the Neo-Prophetic church’s teachings have positive content that equipped adolescents with virtues, survival and leadership skills, and support for career development, there are negative elements that may cause adolescents to develop depression and low self-esteem, lack of reasoning and discernment skills, and potentially negative attitudes toward women. The implications of the findings are discussed.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Religion in Africa was founded in 1967 by Andrew Walls. In 1985 the editorship was taken over by Adrian Hastings, who retired in 1999. His successor, David Maxwell, acted as Executive Editor until the end of 2005. The Journal of Religion in Africa is interested in all religious traditions and all their forms, in every part of Africa, and it is open to every methodology. Its contributors include scholars working in history, anthropology, sociology, political science, missiology, literature and related disciplines. It occasionally publishes religious texts in their original African language.
