  • Reforming Sodom: Protestants and the Rise of Gay Rights, by Heather R. WHITE

    R Stephen Warner, Richard Warner et al.ARTICLESociology of Religion2017

    Seen through a culture wars lens, a book on religion and gay rights might be expected to center on the inherent and ancient antagonism between the two, but it is Heather White’s intention and achievement to upend such a narrative. A historian, White explores the complicated interaction between American Protestantism and the homophile movement in the period between the late 1930s and the early 1970s. She finds both that the notion of homosexuality…

  • Ethnicity, Race, and Religion beyond Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish Whites

    R Stephen Warner, Jesse H Wright et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    As argued by Will Herberg in the 1950s, religion remains a key to the incorporation of minority groups in America, notwithstanding—indeed, precisely because of—the fact that post-1965 immigrants to the United States have been overwhelmingly nonwhites of non-European origin. In contrast to the increasingly secular culture of Europe, the cultures of the Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and African countries of origin of most of today’s immigr…

  • In Defense of Religion: The 2013 H. Paul Douglass Lecture

    Open AccessR Stephen Warner, Jesse H WrightARTICLEReview of Religious Research2014Cited by: 1References: 10

    Originally presented as a lecture-with copious illustrations accompanying an abbreviated text-this article argues that the concept of "religion" retains its theoretical value despite claims that religion has been eclipsed by "spirituality." Presupposing that both religion and spirituality are valuable concepts in themselves, the article begins by reviewing critical literature that examines recent claims on behalf of spirituality and the spiritual…

  • Parameters Of Paradigms Toward A Specification Of The U.S. Religion Market System

    R Stephen Warner, Jesse H WrightARTICLENordic Journal of Religion and…2008

    The «New Paradigm» for the sociology of religion announced in 1993 was not intended to serve as a general theory. Rather it represented a claim that religion in the United States operates according to institutionalized patterns that are distinct from European patterns. In particular, the U.S. system is diffusely pro-religious; the rights of religious minorities, while not always honored, are deeply institutionalized in U.S. tradition. Why this pa…

    As the audience entered the hall, a large screen displayed the title of the talk from an overhead projector. On the dais, about three feet above the floor, was a lectern, and next to it an arrangement of eight chairs facing each other in a square formation, two on each side of the square, the sides at a 45 degree angle from the side of the platform. At the appointed time, SSSR past-president Donald Miller climbed the steps to the lectern to intro…

  • The Role of Religion in the Process of Segmented Assimilation

    Open AccessR Stephen Warner, Richard WarnerARTICLEThe Annals of the American…2007Cited by: 31References: 14

    This article informs students of urban religion about “segmented assimilation theory” and urges theorists of this persuasion to incorporate religion in their models. Segmented assimilation theory acknowledges the undeniable fact that children of post-1965 immigrants to the United States typically become American, but unlike older concepts of assimilation, the new theory recognizes diverse paths to assimilation, with the immigrant second generatio…

  • Religion and Migration in the United States

    Open AccessR Stephen Warner, Richard Warner et al.ARTICLESocial Compass1998

    The conference theme suggests that mobility through and beyond the city presents a particular challenge to religion. It is true that mobility depresses religious participation in the short run, but religious institutions in the United States—because of the recent “settlement” of that country and its sustained history of international and domestic migration—are well adapted to a mobile population and their typical forms are receptive to newcomers.…

  • A Paradigm Not a Theory: Reply to Lechner

    R Stephen Warner, Jesse H WrightARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1997Cited by: 1References: 7

    Although Lechner raises some worthwhile points, the basic issue between us is simple.2I announced a new paradigm, but Lechner insists on reading my article as a proposal for a new theory. He applies himself to refuting what he imagines the new theory to be (rational choice) and does me the favor, from his point of view, of absolving me from its advocacy. I trust I will not be thought churlish if I decline the favor and protest that he has misread…

    R Stephen Warner, Jesse H Wright et al.REVIEWJournal for the Scientific Study…1993Cited by: 1

    In this provocative book, Roger Finke and Rodney Stark challenge popular perceptions about American religion. They view the religious environment as a free market economy, where churches compete for souls. The story they tell is one of gains for upstart sects and losses for mainline denominations. Although many Americans assume that religious participation has declined in America, Finke and Stark present a different picture. In 1776, fewer than 1…
