This book offers a history of sociological theory from a Christian
perspective, tracing the origins of sociology from the beginnings
of Western science as introduced by the Scholastics of the twelfth
century, which, when combined with their emphasis on rationality,
led to the Enlightenment "science of man"-an emphasis that
eventually resulted in sociology, which combined empiricism and a
Christian moral philosophy. With chapters focusing on the
Scholastics, the Enlightenment, the rise of sociology in France,
Germany, and the United States, and the legacy of Positivism,
Christianity and Sociological Theory shows how the emphasis on
moral philosophy was eventually lost as sociology rejected
Christian underpinnings, resulting in what can only be described as
an extremely limited sociology. A rigorous exploration of the
trajectory of the discipline from its Christian origins, this
volume reveals the potential that exists for sociology in an era of
postmodern thought to reclaim its promise through a re-introduction
of Christianity.
