Religion plays a vital role in geopolitics and in the course of
student's lives even if they are not religious. Yet, students often
lack a framework for understanding how current arrangements and
situations came to be or for understanding why religion operates as
such an important force. Featuring a unique approach, The Air We
Breathe: A Sociology of Religion helps students learn sociology by
studying religion. The book is situated around themes that apply
across the field, not just to religion, and includes theories and
ideas from outside of the subfield when appropriate (e.g., gender,
organizational theory, group theory, etc.). The Air We Breathe: A
Sociology of Religion by George Sanders and Josh Packard: Gets
readers to apply the sociological perspective by drawing on the
available research and theories in the sociology of religion and
the larger discipline of sociology to answer overriding questions
about how religion shapes and is shaped by larger social forces.
Incorporates more recent empirical and theoretical developments
that have taken place outside of the sociology of religion. Is
organized around central, interesting questions that students find
accessible. These questions are answered with current research that
has been applied in order to highlight the pragmatism of sociology
of religion research. Features an international, pragmatic,
comparative approach that illustrates the unique role of religion
in the modern world and highlights how it shapes and is shaped by
other social forces and institutions.
