John Dickson: 本期节目探讨了20世纪社会科学界普遍存在的宗教消亡论,并以大量数据和案例分析反驳了这一观点。节目指出,宗教,特别是基督教,并未消亡,反而在全球范围内持续增长,但其增长模式和地理分布发生了显著变化。文章分析了西方国家基督教衰退的原因,并对澳大利亚基督教的未来发展趋势进行了预测。 John Dickson还探讨了基督教的普世使命,认为这并非基督教的独创,而是源于古代犹太教的传统,并对基督教普世使命的合理性和神学意义进行了阐述。 Gina Zerlo: 基督教的增长主要受人口统计学因素影响,出生率和死亡率是关键指标。虽然基督教仍在增长,但增速不如以往,西方国家的教会成员流失严重,亚洲和非洲的增长无法完全抵消这一损失。 Gina Zerlo还分析了中国和印度基督教发展的复杂性,指出中国家庭教会的增长迅速,但面临政府打压;印度存在许多本土化的基督教运动,与印度文化融合,但官方统计数据可能低估了实际人数。 Gina Zerlo强调了女性在全球基督教发展中的重要作用,指出女性更容易改变宗教信仰,人际关系网络对宗教信仰转变有重要影响,女性在许多地区的教会中占据主导地位,但这一事实并未得到充分重视。 Peter Berger: Peter Berger的观点在节目中被多次提及,他最初的世俗化理论认为现代社会会使宗教衰落,但他后来放弃了这一观点,认为现代社会是多元化的,宗教并未消失,而是多样化了。他承认自己低估了宗教,特别是基督教的韧性与发展潜力。

The conventional wisdom in the 20th century was that religion was dying, but this has been proven wrong as religion continues to grow globally.

Shownotes Transcript

The death of religion was the conventional wisdom in the social sciences during most of the twentieth century. Turns out, they were wrong. Religion is not dead. It’s still here. Actually, it’s growing.
