Abstract

The author presents a research model based on self-narratives and constructivism. On behalf of the specificity of religious object, she proposes to investigate God representation and religious experiences from the cultural background of the subjects and groups.  People’s histories and stories demonstrate the central value of religiosity/spirituality in their lives. The author briefly presents the Dialogical Self Theory as a theoretical support.
