| Annotation | The purpose of the present study was to examine the concept of beliefs and believing. The author argues that neither are static over a lifetime, but asks what is stable and what is fluid. It makes sense to start with the aged, whose beliefs have been tested by a lifetime of experience. This qualitative study of 15 older adults used a grounded theology methodology to develop a model of what influences the views of a range of Christian and agnostic subjects. The study identified two sources in life learning and spiritual learning that influence agnostic, more liberal or conservative beliefs. This emergent model is contrasted with the approach of leading theologian Graham Ward. (JL). |
