Abstract In this brief note written during a global pandemic, we consider some of the important ways this historical moment is altering the religious landscape, aiming our investigative lens at how religious institutions, congregations, and individuals are affected by the social changes produced by COVID-19. This unprecedented time prompts scholars of religion to reflect on how to strategically approach the study of religion in the time of “social distancing,” as well as moving forward. Particularly important considerations include developing heuristic, innovative approaches for revealing ongoing changes to religion, as well as how religion continues to structure social life across a wide range of contexts, from the most intimate and personal to the most public and global. Although our note can only be indicative rather than exhaustive, we do suggest that the initial groundwork for reconsiderations might productively focus on several key analytical themes, including: Epidemiology, Ideology, Religious Practice, Religious Organizations and Institutions, as well as Epistemology and Methodology. In offering these considerations as a starting point, we remain aware (and hopeful) that inventive and unanticipated approaches will also emerge.

社会疏远时代的宗教:COVID-19 如何为研究提供新方向

摘要在全球大流行期间撰写的这篇简短说明中,我们考虑了这一历史时刻正在改变宗教格局的一些重要方式,将我们的调查镜头瞄准宗教机构、会众和个人如何受到 COVID- 19. 这个空前的时代促使宗教学者思考如何在“社会疏远”的时代战略性地对待宗教研究,并向前迈进。特别重要的考虑包括开发启发式、创新的方法来揭示宗教的持续变化,以及宗教如何在广泛的背景下继续构建社会生活,从最亲密和个人的到最公开和全球的。虽然我们的笔记只能是指示性的而非详尽无遗的,我们确实建议,重新考虑的最初基础可以有效地集中在几个关键的分析主题上,包括:流行病学、意识形态、宗教实践、宗教组织和机构,以及认识论和方法论。在提供这些考虑作为起点时,我们仍然意识到(并希望)创造性和意想不到的方法也会出现。
