The potential of visual research methods in the sociology of
religion is vast, but largely untapped. This comes as a surprise,
however, given the visual, symbolic, and material nature of
religion and spirituality. Evidence of religious faith and practice
is materially present in everything from clothing and jewelry to
artifacts found in people's homes and workplaces. Not only is
religion's symbolic and material presence palpable throughout
society, it also informs attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of
countless people worldwide. Words-and-numbers approaches to social
research, however, sometimes miss important dimensions of religion
and spirituality in the contemporary world. Seeing Religion is an
invitation to a visual sociology of religion. Contributors draw
from their current research to discuss the application of visual
methods to the study of religion and spirituality. Each chapter
stimulates the sociological imagination through examples of
research techniques, analytical approaches, and methodological
concerns.
