An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion: Classical and Contemporary Perspectives Furseth Inger
What is religion and nonreligion? How does social class, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity and other factors affect religious beliefs, practices, and organizations? How does fundamentalism and religious radicalization emerge and grow?
In exploring these pertinent questions, An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion provides an overview of sociological theories of contemporary religious life.Theoretical discussion is accompanied by presentations of empirical research from several religious traditions in many parts of the world. Is religion a fundamental driving force or do political leaders use religion for their own purposes? The sociology of religion is linked closely to developments in general sociology.
Some chapters are organized according to topic, while others offer brief presentations of classical and contemporary sociologists from Karl Marx to Patricia Hill
