This book, first published in 1992, demonstrates that American
sociology has deep religious roots which continue, both directly
and indirectly, to influence the discipline today. Early American
sociology was closely aligned with the social gospel movement in
Protestantism, which hope to make use of the new science of
sociology to help solve social problems and, ultimately, prepare
America for the establishment of Christ's kingdom on earth.
Although American sociology became secularized after 1920, it
retained its ameliorative outlook, hoping to 'save' mankind through
positivistic analysis and technocratic societal planning.
