The Handbook of Religion and Society is the most comprehensive and
up-to-date treatment of a vital force in the world today. It is an
indispensable resource for scholars, students, policy makers, and
other professionals seeking to understand the role of religion in
society. This includes both the social forces that shape religion
and the social consequences of religion. This handbook captures the
breadth and depth of contemporary work in the field, and shows
readers important future directions for scholarship. Among the
emerging topics covered in the handbook are biological functioning,
organizational innovation, digital religion, spirituality, atheism,
and transnationalism. The relationship of religion to other
significant social institutions like work and entrepreneurship,
science, and sport is also analyzed. Specific attention is paid,
where appropriate, to international issues as well as to race,
class, sexuality, and gender differences. This handbook includes 27
chapters by a distinguished, diverse, and international collection
of experts, organized into 6 major sections: religion and social
institutions; religious organization; family, life course, and
individual change; difference and inequality; political and legal
processes; and globalization and transnationalism.
