Handbook Of the Sociology of Religion by Michele Dillon
HANDBOOK OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION
Religion is a critical construct for understanding contemporary social life.
It illuminates the everyday experiences and practices of many individuals;
is a significant component of diverse institutional processes including politics, gender relations, and socioeconomic inequality; and plays a vital role in public culture and social change.
This handbook showcases current research and thinking in the sociology of religion.
The contributors, all active writers and researchers in the area, provide original chapters focusing on select aspects of their own engagement with the field.
Aimed at students and scholars who want to know more about the sociology of religion, this handbook also provides a resource for sociologists in general by integrating broader questions of sociology (e.g., demography, ethnicity, life course, inequality, political sociology) into the analysis of religion.
Broadly inclusive of traditional research topics (modernity, secularization, politics) as well as newer interests (feminism, spirituality, faith-based community action),
this handbook illustrates the validity of diverse theoretical perspectives and research designs to understanding the multilayered nature of religion as a sociological phenomenon.
