Twenty-eight scholars, many of them well known in the sociology
of religion, examine a variety of faith traditions and sociological
topics that illustrate the connection between religion and society
in many different countries at the dawn of the 21st century. The
faith traditions include Judaism, Roman Catholicism, evangelical
and mainstream Protestantism, Islam, Hinduism, Yuruba religion,
Chinese religion, and several new religious movements, including a
UFO cult in Quebec.
The book will be of interest to scholars in the sociology of
religion, but a special feature is its utility as a reader in
undergraduate and graduate courses. The topics represent the range
usually presented in a course in the sociology of religion:
individual religiosity, religious identity, conversion,
plausibility structure, community, church and sect, religious
leadership, organizational analysis, new religious movements, race,
gender, religion and politics, and the relationship of religion to
social order and social change.
