Synopsis: |
Why are people in modern societies religious? What is the nature of religious involvement in political action, terrorism and conflict? What is the meaning and relevance of religious liberty? In this text, George M. Thomas addresses these questions and others through his cultural, historical and global model of culture. This accessible textbook covers theoretical issues in the study of religion, using as examples Protestantism in early modern Europe, North American revivalism, Islam, liberation theology and Pentecostal movements in Latin America. It exposes students to the central analytical questions, methodologies and practical issues that drive the sociology of religion. |
