Abstract

Whether young people can reconcile the Christian creation belief with scientific theories on the origins of the world and life does not depend solely on their knowledge and cognitive abilities - whether they recognize the biblical creation texts as myths and understand the meaning of creation. Emotional and existential factors are at least as important. What offers reassurance and orientation in the world? What meets the desire for autonomy? What provides purpose and identity? For young people, these are essential questions that shape their attitudes towards creation and evolution. Ob Jugendliche den christlichen Schöpfungsglauben mit dem naturwissenschaftlichen Weltbild vereinbaren können, hängt nicht allein von ihren Kenntnissen und kognitiven Fähigkeiten ab. Mindestens ebenso wichtig sind emotionale und existenzielle Faktoren. Was bietet Sicherheit und Orientierung in der Welt? Was entspricht dem Wunsch nach selbstbestimmtem Denken und Handeln? Was stiftet Sinn und Identität? Für Jugendliche sind dies wesentliche Fragen, die in der Auseinandersetzung mit Schöpfungsglauben und naturwissenschaftlichen Weltentstehungstheorien ihre Einstellungen prägen.

Abstract

"Die fünfte Erhebung des Freiwilligensurveys trifft Aussagen über 20 Jahre Engagement in Deutschland. Zudem setzt sie mit Fragen zur politischen Kultur und zum Bereich Flucht und Migration neue inhaltliche Schwerpunkte. Die Sonderauswertung des Sozialwissenschaftlichen Instituts der EKD liefert religionssoziologische und handlungspraktische Anknüpfungspunkte. Sie differenziert zwischen christlichen, islamischen und christlich-orthodoxen Religionsgemeinschaften und befasst sich intensiv mit dem Bereich des kirchlichen und religiösen Engagements. Neben Gemeinsamkeiten, etwa bei Beweggründen für freiwillige Tätigkeiten, wird deutlich, dass nicht alle Bevölkerungsgruppen ähnliche zivilgesellschaftliche Zugangs- und Teilhabe-Möglichkeiten haben." -- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"Possiamo parlare di interessi propriamente religiosi (definiti ancora in termini generici) quando, accanto alle domande magiche che sempre sussistono, almeno in certe classi, fa la sua comparsa anche una domanda propriamente ideologica, vale a dire l'aspettativa di un messaggio sistematico capace di conferire un senso unitario alla vita, proponendo ai propri destinatari privilegiati una visione coerente del mondo e dell'esistenza umana e dando loro i mezzi per realizzare l'integrazione sistematica della loro condotta quotidiana, quindi capace di fornire loro delle giustificazioni del fatto di esistere come esistono, ovvero in una posizione sociale determinata. Se ci sono delle funzioni sociali della religione e se, di conseguenza, la religione è passibile di analisi sociologica, è perché i laici non si aspettano - o non solamente - delle giustificazioni di esistere atte a strapparli dall'angoscia esistenziale della contingenza e dell'abbandono, oppure alla miseria biologica, alla malattia, alla sofferenza o alla morte, ma anche e soprattutto delle giustificazioni sociali di esistere come occupanti di una posizione determinata nella struttura sociale" (Pierre Bourdieu, 1930-2002).

Abstract

Progressive, modern societies hold the promise of the triumph of reason and the banishing of primitive, religious impulses to a bygone age. If this statement is orthodoxy to much of Western liberal thought, then Gordon Lynch's On the Sacred is heresy. Challenging the myth of the idealized rational society, Lynch argues that emotionally-charged forms of the sacred remain an inevitable foundation of social life. Modernity has not rid us of the sacred, but merely presented us with new sacred forms focused around humanity, nature and the nation. Drawing on examples from the changing status of the British monarchy, the growing influence of humanitarian NGOs and moral justifications for the invasion of Iraq, On the Sacred presents a compelling account of what the sacred is and why it still matters for us today. By the end of the book, Lynch calls us to a new understanding of our moments of deep moral certainty, challenging us to think about the harm we do in the name of what we call sacred.

Abstract

A growing number of people are claiming or reclaiming a religious or spiritual identity for themselves. Yet, in contemporary Western societies, the frameworks of understanding that have developed within the social science disciplines, and which are used to analyse data, are secular in nature, and so may be inappropriate for investigating some aspects of religion, spirituality and faith and how these intersect with individuals' lives. This edited collection addresses important theoretical and methodological issues to explore ways of engaging with religion and spirituality when carrying out social science research. Divided into three sections, the book examines the notion of secularism in relation to contemporary western society, including a focus upon secularisation; explores how the values underpinning social scientific enquiry might serve to marginalise religion and spirituality; and reflects on social science research methodologies when researching religion and spirituality. With international contributions from key academics in the fields of religious studies, cultural studies, political science, criminology, sociology, health and social policy, this engaging book will provide social science students, educators, researchers and practitioners with an essential overview of key debates around secularism, faith, spirituality and social science research.

Abstract

The study of religion as an academic discipline is a rather recent development in colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. Although French sociologist Émile Durkheim wrote extensively about the role of religion in public life in the early 1900s, it was not until the 1960s that researchers from social science backgrounds, predominately sociology, began the formal, empirical study of religion as a social force that may impact a wide range of individual and societal outcomes. This special issue of Religions brings together scholars from around the world who use diverse methodologies to study the impact of religion on a broad range of outcomes. The issue thus provides a unique snapshot of current work being done in the sociology of religion. In these 18 articles, readers will find a great mix of data-driven studies (both quantitative and qualitative) and conceptual/review papers. The articles also reflect a diversity of authors, locations, topics, and faith traditions. Many of the papers include undergraduate and graduate students as co-authors. These collaborations are important for maintaining the continuity of high-quality research over time.

Abstract

In diesem Open-Access-Buch unterzieht Anastas Odermatt die weitverbreitete Annahme, dass sowohl Religion als auch freiwilliges Engagement förderlich für soziales Vertrauen und damit für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt und Demokratie seien, einer empirischen Überprüfung. Wirkt Religion eher konflikthaft und negativ auf unsere Gesellschaft oder wirkt sie eher brückenbildend, stabilisierend und damit positiv? Diese Frage wird in Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit kontrovers diskutiert und unterschiedlich beantwortet. Basierend auf den Daten des KONID Survey 2019 für die Schweiz werden die Wirkmechanismen zwischen Religion und Religiosität, freiwilligem Engagement und sozialem Vertrauen in der Schweiz vertieft untersucht und allgemein verständlich erklärt. Dabei ergibt sich ein differenziertes Bild für die unterschiedlichen, teils eigenwilligen Zusammenhänge - neue Erkenntnisse und einige Überraschungen miteingeschlossen.
