本文所指的社会转型是指二十世纪七十年代末八十年代初以来，中国在不改变其基本政体结构的前提下，从经济结构到社会结构，从行政体制到文化意识形态方面正在进行的由浅入深，由局部到全面的现代化改革开放和建设有中国特色社会主义的历史进程。作为本文考察对象的基督教是西方基督教第四次传入中国后的存留物，它已经不是“洋教”，而是完全独立自主的中国基督教。本文以南充地区基督教会为个案，通过对田野调查中取得的第一手资料进行归纳分析；同时主要采用当代最前沿的宗教社会学方法，对当代基督教的信仰取向、组织结构以及发展模式作出了比较深入的理论探讨，得到如下几个方面的研究结论——一、在全国五大宗教中，基督教之所以能以较快速度增长，这是因为广大信徒群众的宗教生活伴随着社会转型而经历了一场范式转变。这种转变表现在，从多神崇拜转变为独一至上神信仰；从弥散型的宗教组织形式转变为堂会制宗教组织形式；从求今生功利的巫术型宗教气质转变成为求重生得救的伦理型宗教气质。二、在很多基督教会中，信徒群体表现出比较明显的单一性发展态势。所谓单一性是指在某个既定的信徒群体在年龄、性别、职业或知识文化的某一方面显现出一边倒的趋势。本文重点考察了大部分基督教会中女性占压倒性多数的现象，以及它的社会原因与现实意义。三、随着中国社会转型过程的不断向前推进，并根据教会自身的发展要求，中国基督教的发展出现了一些新趋势，三自教会发展减缓，而小派、家庭教会增长更快，越来越多中青年知识分子加入教会，以及城市教会的比重加大，等等。这预示着中国基督教的教政组织体制将随着中国社会的转型而走向多元化而不是单一化的格局。
From late 70s and early 80s of the 20~(th) century, China have been going on the important social reform. With the process of social reform, Christian churches have gotten a great revival in China. Are there any relations between the two phenomena? How are the churches going on? Why do so many Chinese people not believe in traditional religion but Christianity? What is the ethos of Chinese Christians?Based on field investigation data and accorded to the latest religious sociology methods, this thesis sums up three conclusions:1.Behind the fact that Christianity becomes the most expeditiously growing religion in China, and in general speaking it is commingled with traditional Chinese religious idea, the writer find there a religious paradigm shift has taken place among Chinese people, and have gotten its momentum to them. This paradigm shift manifests as from polytheism or fetishism to monotheism, from defused religion to synagogical religion, and from magic religion to soteriological religion.2. In many churches and believers units, some kind of homogeneous attributes, natural or social, are easy to be found, such as in age, in sex, in career, and in literate degree. This thesis focuses on Martha-phenomenon, and its social causation, and its praxis meaning.3. Along with the social reform has been going on, some new characters would be developed in Chinese churches. Forasmuch the evidences emerged: housechurches grow more speeded; more and more literate take part in the churches; more and more urban churches are growing; the writer tried to point out that Chinese churches would not be united, but multivariate.
