This third edition of Sociology of Religion introduces students to
key principles in the sociological understanding of religion, with
revisions and updates throughout. The book offers an overview of
the nature and function of religious institutions and practices,
asking sociological questions about the changing role of religion
in today's "post-traditional" world. After an introduction to the
many facets of religion and key theories for its study, the book
examines central themes such as changes in religious life in the
United States; the intersections between religion, social class,
and power and between gender, sexuality, and religion;
globalization and religion; religion in mass media; and more. The
third edition features new material on the relationship of race and
ethnicity to religion, the perceived rises of both secularism and
fundamentalism, and the role of religion in public debates on
sexuality. Sociology of Religion addresses both the foundations of
the field and the profound changes it has undergone, placing new
examples against their historical background. Charts, photos,
down-to-earth examples, and a readable style make the book an ideal
introduction for students.
