Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church As A Social Institution: The Sociology Of American Religion is a comprehensive study of the role of religion in American society. Written by David Oscar Moberg, a leading sociologist of religion, this book explores the ways in which religion shapes and is shaped by social institutions, including the family, education, politics, and the economy.The book begins by examining the historical roots of religion in America, from the early colonial period to the present day. It then looks at the various religious traditions that have emerged in the United States, including Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam.Drawing on a wide range of sociological theories and research, Moberg explores the ways in which religion influences social behavior and attitudes. He examines the role of religion in shaping moral values, social norms, and political beliefs, and he discusses the ways in which religious organizations interact with other social institutions, such as the media, the legal system, and the economy.Throughout the book, Moberg emphasizes the importance of understanding religion as a social institution, and he argues that a sociological approach to religion is essential for understanding its role in American society. He also provides practical insights for religious leaders, policymakers, and others who are interested in promoting social change through religion.Overall, The Church As A Social Institution: The Sociology Of American Religion is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the complex relationship between religion and society in the United States. It is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand the role of religion in American life.Prentice Hall Sociology Series.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Download or read book Social Institutions and the Politics of Recognition written by Tony Burns and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of three volumes, this definitive study explores the politics of social institutions, from the time of the ancient Greeks to the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Tony Burns focuses on those civil-society institutions occupying the intermediate social space which exists between the family or household, on the one hand, and what Hegel refers to as ‘the strictly political state’, on the other. Arguing that the internal affairs of social institutions are a legitimate concern for students of politics, he focuses on the notion of authority, together with that of an individual’s station and its duties. Burns discusses the work of such key thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Marsilius of Padua, Nicholas of Cusa, Jean Bodin, Charles Loyseau, John Calvin, Martin Luther and Gerrard Winstanley. He considers what they have said about the relationship that exists between superiors in positions of authority and their subordinates within hierarchical social institutions.
Download or read book Models of the Church written by Avery Dulles and published by Image. This book was released on 2002-05-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is today a dramatic reexamination of structure, authority, dogma -- indeed, every aspect of the life of the Church is held up to scrutiny. Welcoming this as a sign of vitality, Avery Dulles has carefully studied the writings of contemporary Protestant and Catholic ecclesiologists and sifted out six major approaches, or "models," through which the Church's character can be understood: as Institution, Mystical Communion, Sacrament, Herald, Servant, and, in a recent addition to the book, as Community of Disciples. A balanced theology, he concludes, must incorporate the major affirmations of each. "The method of models or types," observes Cardinal Dulles, "can have great value in helping people to get beyond the limitations of their own particular outlook and to enter into fruitful conversation with others... Such conversation is obviously essential if ecumenism is to get beyond its present impasses." This new edition includes a new Appendix and Preface by the author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Down-Town Church: A Study of a Social Institution in Transition The church, in common with most other social institutions, has recently been receiving much consideration from the viewpoint of social efficiency. There have been those on the one side, whose belief in the church as an institution of supernatural origin, whose devotion to it as the custodian of divine truth and ordinances, and whose admiration for its ideals and achievements, have blinded them to its actual condition. This attitude, while perfectly sincere, is manifestly unscientific. The true friend of the church is not he who doggedly affirms that it can have no faults, but he who recognizes that, whatever its origin and purpose, it is dependent upon human judgment for its policies and human personality for its progress, and is therefore liable to defect, and capable of improvement. On the other hand, there are those who freely criticize the church as an effete organization. They point to its feebleness and failure among certain classes, its seeming impotency in staying social decay, and its conservatism of thought and method, as indications of its passing power. They predict confidently that it is doomed to early extinction, and they infer that social progress would not be affected thereby. This attitude is also unscientific. Prof. Ward points out "that the proper and scientific attitude toward an institution that is regarded as bad is not wholesale condemnation and denunciation as something that is essentially bad and must have always been bad, but investigation to ascertain what stage of its history it is in, and whether it is in process of transformation, throwing off its outgrown elements and replacing them with elements adapted to existing conditions, and therefore useful.

Download or read book Religion and Social Problems written by Titus Hjelm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-21 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although students and scholars of social problems have often acknowledged the role of religion, no thorough examinations of the relation between the two have emerged. This volume fills this gap by providing a definitive work on the role of religion in assessing, constructing, and solving social problems. Contributors chart the relation between religion and social problems, exploring such case studies as the impact of religion on drugs and alcohol use among Muslims, the rising importance that religion is given in social policy, the role of the Orthodox and Catholic churches in tackling social problems in post-communist East Europe, and the contested role of religion in the national and international politics of contemporary Japan. Religion and Social Problems is a broad and path-breaking contribution to the fields of sociology of religion, sociology of social problems, and religious studies.
