Religion was a central concern for two of the founding fathers of
sociology -Weber and Durkheim- and two other pioneers of modern
sociology - Marx and Freud- also made important contributions to
our understanding of the role of the supernatural in social life.
These two volumes of significant writings in the sociology of
religion begin with statements of major theoretical positions.
Parsons, Bellah, Berger and Luckmann are represented here, as are
modern writers in the rational choice school. The changing place of
religion has been a major concern for sociologists and the
selections include 17 central texts in the debate over
secularization. Other areas covered are the forms of religious
organization; the nature of conversion, recruitment and commitment;
new religious movements; religion and politics; and the links
between religion, magic and rationality.
