Sociology of Religion

More about the book

The book explores the emergence of sociology of religion in the 19th century, a time marked by significant transformations in Western society, including the rise of capitalism. It examines how religious beliefs and practices are shaped by societal influences rather than purely personal motivations. By analyzing religious discourse as a social fact, the study reveals the interplay between religion and social conflicts, highlighting the need for a scientific approach to understand the evolving nature of religious experiences within the broader context of societal changes.
