The Sociology of Religion: A Bibliographical Survey (Bibliographies and Indexes in Religious Studies)

'œBrighton Polytechnic sociologist Homan's 1,013-item selective bibliography complements bibliographies of narrower scope, listing seminal, accessible books and journal articles that should interest beginners and advanced scholars alike. Its two best features are its subject index (supplemented by author and title indexes) and its annotations. Often evaluative as well as descriptive, and always clearly written, these excellent annotations contain unexpected information, such as where a work has been reprinted or whether it has an extensive bibliography. Homan focuses on material done in English during the last twenty years, although foreign-language citations (especially French) and important classic works are not slighted. Particularly useful for the undergraduate is the overview of leading journals in the field. ... The print is clear and the volume sturdily bound. A well-realized bibliography of lasting value. Students and general readers.'' ChoiceRoger E. Homan is the author of 'The Sociology of Religion: A Bibliographical Survey (Bibliographies and Indexes in Religious Studies)', published 1986 under ISBN 9780313247101 and ISBN 0313247102.
