초록
필자들은 이 글에서 종교 체험이 사회적 영향력을 가지고 있음을 주장하고 있 다. 21세기에 들어 많은 사람들이 종교 체험을 하고 있지만, 그것의 사회적 영향 력에 대한 연구는 미진한 편이었다. 기존의 연구는 주로 종교 체험의 사회적 기반 에 초점을 맞추었고, 종교 체험을 여타 요인으로 환원시켜 설명하려는 자세를 취 하였다. 하지만 이 연구는 이른바 방법론적 불가지론의 입장에서 종교 체험의 진 정성을 가정하고 그것이 사람들의 삶에서 갖는 효능과 기능에 주목할 것이다. 그 런 시각에서 본다면, 종교 체험은 종교 제도를 유지한다거나, 시민사회의 자원봉 사를 촉진한다거나, 정치 참여와 사회변화에 원인이 되는 등 다양한 사회적 영향 력을 갖고 있다. 특별히 감정은 종교 체험과 사회적 영향력을 연결하는 고리로서, 신과 인간의 상호작용에서 나오는 감정적 에너지가 중요한 역할을 한다. 종교 체 험에서 느끼는 신적인 사랑은 커다란 에너지를 발생시키면서 참다운 사랑 실천을 가능케 한다. 신적 사랑으로 영혼의 변화를 경험한 개인은 지속적이고 진정한 이 타주의를 실천함으로써 인류 사회를 밝게 만드는 촉매제가 될 수 있다.
Abstract
This article argues that religious experience has social consequences. 21st century witnesses many people claim to have had religious experience, but the sociological explorations on its social consequences have lagged behind. Previous studies, considering religious experience as something socially constructed, have attempted to explain away spiritual experiences as a function of other things. However, this study takes a different perspective. This article adopts methodological agnosticism that is open to people's claim of supernatural experience and examines what effects religious experience can have in people's lives. According to our study, religious experience has various social consequences, such as maintaining religious organizations, increasing civic engagement and voluntary action, motivating political participation, and bringing about social change. Feelings function as a catalyst for religious experience to have social consequences. Of particular importance is the emotional energy that is generated through the interaction between God and human being. The experience of Godly Love, sparking a great amount of love energy, enables people to do genuine acts of benevolence. Those who experience complete change in their selves through religious experience can become an agent who can put into practice a sustained and real altruism which helps to fulfill the vision of a better society.
