In From Faith to Works: How Religion Inspires Confidence,
Community, and Sacrifice, Michael K. Abel builds on key principles
from past theories of religion and group solidarity to determine
the origins of religious confidence and explain the essential role
doctrinal content plays in the establishment of cohesive religious
communities. This book addresses an enduring question: Why do
people sacrifice their own personal interests to conform to
religious expectations? While religious adherents have long
acknowledged their faith as a primary motivator of action, social
scientists have tended to minimize its importance. From Faith to
Works rectifies this shortcoming by placing faith at the center of
its analysis. The information presented in this book will appeal to
readers of all faiths as well as those of no faith. Combining
theoretical arguments and compelling statistics, From Faith to
Works proves a fascinating and unique contribution to social
scientific thinking on religion.
