The Spiritual Narratives of Generation Z. This book presents our analysis of the story-completion submissions and demographic data collected and co-interpreted in the Oxford Pilot (2024/5). We use a novel interpretive framework, Exemplarist Narrative Analysis, and identify five recurring story-types. These types offer a precise way to describe how Gen Zers view religion and role models today.
Available January 2026 from Routledge.
The Story Archive. Many of the story-completion submissions from the Oxford Pilot (2024/5) can be found in an online repository, hosted at the Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford. We encourage researchers and the public alike to engage with the stories. What might they say about participants or religion and spirituality today?
