信徒的诞生——一个村庄里基督教群体的宗教教育

The Birth of Christians:on Religious Education of Christian Group in a Village

基于对甘肃省一个基督徒较为集中的村庄的田野研究,探讨了乡村青少年基督徒在社会化过程中,教会、家庭的宗教教育及其与普通学校教育之间的博弈对青少年宗教信仰形成的影响。结果表明,主日学校在青少年信仰教育方面显现出某些优势,世俗化、城市化和市场经济的发展对家庭宗教教育产生的影响表现为截然相反的两个方面,相比之下,由于学校自身的一些局限,在一定程度上弱化了其在学生信仰教育方面的主导地位。

Based on the fieldwork in a village, Gansu province, where many Christians live, this paper discusses the influences of church, religious education within family, and their competition with general school education on the formation of the adolescents＇religious faith in the process of socialization. The results showed that Sabbath-school has many advantages in the Christian adolescents＇ belief education. The influence of secularization, urbanization and development of market economy on the family religious education takes on two opposite manifestations. In contrast, general school＇dominant position in the Christian adolescents＇ belief education is weakened by its own limitations.
