Hvað eru trú og trúleysi? Hvernig verða bókstafstrú og róttækni í trúarbrögðum til og hvernig breiðast þau út? Hvaða áhrif hafa þjóðfélagsstétt, kyn, kynhneigð, kynþáttur, þjóðerni og aðrir þættir á trúarskoðanir, trúariðkun og trúfélög? Er trú sjálfstæður drifkraftur eða nota stjórnmálaleiðtogar hana í eigin þágu? Í umfjöllun um þessar mikilvægu spurningar veitir An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion yfirlit yfir félagsfræðilegar kenningar um trúarlíf samtímans.
Fræðilegri umfjöllun fylgja niðurstöður rannsókna á ólíkum trúarhefðum víða um heim. Félagsfræði trúarbragða er sett í náið samhengi við þróun almennrar félagsfræði. Sumir kaflar bókarinnar skiptast eftir viðfangsefnum en aðrir veita stutt yfirlit yfir kenningar klassískra og nútímafélagsfræðinga, allt frá Karl Marx til Patricia Hill Collins, og sjónarmið þeirra um samfélagið og trúarbrögð.
What are religion and nonreligion? How do fundamentalism and religious radicalization emerge and grow? How do social class, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and other factors affect religious beliefs, practices, and organizations? Is religion a fundamental driving force or do political leaders use religion for their own purposes? In exploring these pertinent questions, An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion provides an overview of sociological theories of contemporary religious life.
Theoretical discussion is accompanied by presentations of empirical research from several religious traditions in many parts of the world. The sociology of religion is linked closely to developments in general sociology. Some chapters are organized according to topic, while others offer brief presentations of classical and contemporary sociologists from Karl Marx to Patricia Hill Collins and their perspectives on social life, including on religion.
