初探臺灣本土神學與宗教地理學之發展

A Primer on the Development of Contextual Theology and Religious Geography in Taiwan

本文由臺灣基督長老教會在上世紀70年代開始發展之本土神學發展歷程為開端，並嘗試與西方宗教地理學中之重要概念結合，加入神學界以空間概念嘗試與地理學之研究結合等進展，以及2010年之後宗教地理研究之新方向做討論，文末討論長老教會本土神學對臺灣宗教地景之改變，並提出將來可能研究之方向。

This paper begins with the development of contextual theology in the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan in the 1970s. An attempt is made by the author to integrate this church development with the progress of Western religious geography by adding the progress of the theological community’s attempts to integrate the study of geography with the concept of space and the new direction of the study of religious geography that emerged after 2010. The paper concludes with a discussion of the changes that the contextual theology of the Presbyterian Church has made to the landscape of religions in Taiwan, as well as suggesting possible directions for future research. Also, the author provides a discussion of the changes in the local theology of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan.
