Over the last 30 years a number of theologians have been using
aspects of sociology alongside the more traditional resources of
philosophy. In turn, sociologists with an interest in theology have
also contributed to an interaction between theology and sociology.
The time is right to revisit the dialogue between theologians and
sociologists. In his new trilogy on Sociological Theology, Robin
Gill makes a renewed contribution to the mapping of three abiding
ways of relating theology and sociology, with the three volumes
covering: Theology in a Social Context; Theology Shaped by Society;
Society Shaped by Theology. Theology in a Social Context argues
that a sociological perspective, properly understood, can make an
important contribution to theology. Part I looks carefully at
various objections raised by both theologians and sociologists,
maintaining instead that a proper understanding of social context
is a prerequisite for effective theology. Part II suggests that a
sociological perspective offers crucial insights into resurgent
forms of fundamentalism. Part III offers a fresh account of social
context in the modern world, once thought by sociologists and
theologians alike to consist simply of increasing secularization.
