Is it true that religion is weakening in modern times or are we
facing religious resurgence? What is fundamentalism? How does it
emerge and grow? Which role does religion play in ethnic and
national conflicts? Is religion a fundamental driving force or do
political leaders use religion for their own purposes? Do all
religions oppress women? These are some of the questions addressed
in this book. An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion provides
an overview of sociological theories of contemporary religious
life. Some chapters are organized according to topic. Other
chapters offer brief presentations of classical and contemporary
sociologists from Karl Marx to Zygmunt Bauman and their
perspectives on social life, including religion. Throughout the
book, illustrations and examples are taken from several religious
traditions.
