This article reports on a qualitative exploration of the well-being and meaning that second- and third-generation Christians from an African context experience because of their integration of religion in their life and being. A textured, integrated tapestry is created of the participants’ understanding of God (God-concept), experience of their relationship with God (God-image) and understanding of life as coloured by their belief systems. The contribution of their God-belief to their sense of meaning and psychological well-being frames the tapestry of this article.<p><strong>How to cite this article:</strong> Van der Merwe, E.K., Van Eeden, C. & Van Deventer, H.J.M., 2010, ‘A psychological perspective on god-belief as a source of well-being and meaning’, <em>HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies</em> 66(1), Art. #332, 10 pages.
