This introductory text explores the historical and contemporary
relevance of religion to social life, through an examination of
practice and belief. Author Hunt reconsiders how theories and
concepts are lived at the level of selfhood and cultural identity,
through religious and spiritual belief. At the same time he looks
at contemporary changes in religious life and how these are
impacted by socialization, institutional belonging, and belief, and
at the significance of class, gender, age and ethnicity. Individual
chapters cover a range of issues, such as:
- religion, identity and community
- secularization and pluralism
- traditional Christianity: change and continuity
- globalization and the global context
- religion and ethnicity.
The text challenges much current sociological thought and deals
with contemporary Christianity, a range of world faiths and new and
developing expressions of religion and spirituality. With tables
and diagrams to illustrate key points and trends, it provides an
accessible and captivating introduction to the sociology of
religion.
