Abstract
This article explores the relationship between human attachment and God attachment, particularly in Christian women’s experiences of faith. It is based on the attachment perspective as a conceptual framework. The main aim was to evolve an attachment‐theoretical approach to women’s faith development and to offer a complementary path to interpret women’s faith development. The method was qualitative, as the data were collected via biographical narrative depth interviews. The findings suggest that an early attachment experience is a significant factor in the women’s faith development; three patterns of women’s faith are presented in which the differences in their images of self and God are represented accordingly.
Notes
1. To be brief, Ainsworth et al. (Citation1987) created a situation, a series of 3 minute separations and reunions with the mother to see the child’s reaction.
2. In Birmingham there are about 200 Korean families and a total of 400 Korean people, including some families who live here permanently. Most of them are here for their studies.
