Sociology of Religion

These two volumes of significant writings in the sociology of religion begin with statements of major theoretical positions. The thought of Parsons, Bellah, Berger and Luckmann are represented, along with the ideas of modern writers in the rational choice school. Other areas covered in the books are forms of religious organization; the nature of conversion, recruitment and commitment; new religious movements; religion and politics; and the links between and among religion, magic and rationality.Bruce, Steve is the author of 'Sociology of Religion' with ISBN 9781852788995 and ISBN 1852788992.
