Religion in Secular Society
Fifty years after its publication, Bryan Wilson’s Religion in Secular Society remains one of the clearest articulations of the modern secularization thesis: the claim that modernization brings with it fundamental changes in the nature and status of religion. For Wilson, secularization refers to religion’s loss of influence at societal, institutional, and individual levels. Largely as a result of inadvertent consequences of modernization (rather t…

The Secularization of Early Modern England
In this provocative work, Sommerville examines the onset of secularization in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, exploring how and why various aspects of life - art, language, work, play, technology, and power - became divorced from religious values. The work helps modern readers understand what life was like in an age in which religion suffused society and was as basic to thought as the structure of language. Sommerville argues that secu…
A Time to Chant
Fifty years ago Sōka Gakkai was an organization of a few hundred people, all of them in Japan. Today it is one of the world's most rapidly expanding religious movements with members in virtually every country in Europe, the Americas, and Australasia, in most of Asia, and in several parts of Africa. It is also increasingly well publicized, sponsoring and promoting a variety of cultural and educational causes and establishing a high profile for its…

The Social Dimensions of Sectarianism
In this wide-ranging collection of essays, Bryan Wilson explores the complex relationships between religious sects and contemporary Western society. He examines the controversial social, political, and religious issues that arise as sects seek to pursue a way of life at variance with that of other people, and which at times brings them into conflict with outsiders or with the state. Sects are often subject to negative theological and moral judgem…
The functions of religion
The loss by religion in the West of its social functions is seen as the circumstance that has permitted social, political, and economic agencies to reduce and abandon their support of Christianity. Toleration of different denominations by the state (and ecumenism in the churches) is taken to have become possible as religion was extruded from the institutional framework of society. Once its erstwhile latent fimctions were appropriated and rational…

Morality in the Evolution of the Modern Social System
The early sociologists, at least until the First World War, and perhaps even until the Second, confidently assumed that the course of social evolutlon had an analogue in the process of biological evolution. Such an idea, already anticipated by Auguste Comte, is central to the work of Herbert Spencer and can be easily identified in the optimistic early Durkheim, but it had perhaps its fullest expression, and acquired its special application to mor…

Religion in Sociological Perspective
Outline: In this book, based on lectures that the author was invited to deliver in Japan, the author traces the dominant contours of religion as perceived by the sociologist. His themes range from the study of sectarianism, on which he is one of the world's leading authorities, to the subtleties of the relationship between religion and culture in modern societies of the West and the East. Although firmly committed to a comparative perspective, th…

An Analysis of Sect Development
The maintenance of original value orientations and of pristine character is a crucial problem area encountered by institutions, particularly in the face of changing external or internal social circumstances. The tensions engendered in such conditions are clearly evident in sects, which provide a valuable institutional type for analysis, in that they have an explicit value commitment, are clearly circumscribed organizations, and are peculiarly sel…

The Assassins
The Assassins is a comprehensive, readable, and authoritative account of history's first terrorists. An offshoot of the Ismaili Shi'ite sect of Islam, the Assassins were the first group to make systematic use of murder as a political weapon. Established in Iran and Syria in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, they aimed to overthrow the existing Sunni order in Islam and replace it with their own. They terrorized their foes with a series of dramat…

The movement still retains a distinctly sectarian ideology but has recruited by revivalism a less radically se…

Aspects of Kinship and the Rise of Jehovah's Witnesses in Japan
Depuis la fin de la deuxième guerre mondiale, la séculari sation s'est très rapidement répandue au Japon. Ce phénomène est lié à l'effondrement de la religion d'Etat (le Shintoisme), à la diminution d'importance du culte des ancètres et au phénomène, mondialement répandu, de l'accroissement des ' rôles professionnels anonymes '. Dans le Japon con temporain, la religion traditionnelle n'est plus qu'un vestige du passé. La vie religieuse la plus in…
Jehovah's Witnesses in Kenya
The Watchtower movement, as Jehovah's Witnesses were originally known--figures largely in the twentieth century history of Zambia, Malawi, and Rhodesia, partly because of the activities of break-away and imitative movements which disseminated highly-coloured versions of official Watchtower teaching, 1) and partly because of more recent conflicts between the newly independent states and official Watchtower adherents (known, since 1931, as Jehovah'…
