Prayer is a central aspect of religion. Even amongst those who have
abandoned organized religion levels of prayer remain high. Yet the
most basic questions remain unaddressed: What exactly is prayer?
How does it vary? Why do people pray and in what situations and
settings? Does prayer imply a god, and if so, what sort? A
Sociology of Prayer addresses these fundamental questions and opens
up important new debates. Drawing from religion, sociology of
religion, anthropology, and historical perspectives, the
contributors focus on prayer as a social as well as a personal
matter and situate prayer in the conditions of complex late modern
societies worldwide. Presenting fresh empirical data in relation to
original theorising, the volume also examines the material aspects
of prayer, including the objects, bodies, symbols, and spaces with
which it may be integrally connected.
