This timely book aims to change the way we think about religion by
putting emotion back onto the agenda. It challenges a tendency to
over-emphasise rational aspects of religion, and rehabilitates its
embodied, visceral and affective dimensions. Against the view that
religious emotion is a purely private matter, it offers a new
framework which shows how religious emotions arise in the varied
interactions between human agents and religious communities, human
agents and objects of devotion, and communities and sacred symbols.
It presents parallels and contrasts between religious emotions in
European and American history, in other cultures, and in
contemporary western societies. By taking emotions seriously, A
Sociology of Religious Emotion sheds new light on the power of
religion to shape fundamental human orientations and motivations:
hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, loves and hatreds.
