We discuss the primary results from a survey on social perceptions of religious freedom col…

G iddings, F ranklin H enry
Franklin H. Giddings (1855–1931) was a positivist early founder of American sociology. He modified the evolutionary perspective by placing importance on consciousness of kind. Although he conducted little original research, his advocacy of sociology as a research discipline and quantitative methods helped direct the field from a philosophical to a scientific endeavor.

Research Organizations
A specialty such as the sociology of religion is inextricably tied up with the institutes that carry out research projects on a continuing basis. U.S. Bureau of the Census is a fairly permanent entity that carries out numerous demographic and economic studies for the U.S. federal government. To appreciate what the Interchurch World Movement (IWM) was about, it helps to see it as an outcome of Protestant intellectual ferment that reflected both no…
Toward a Sociological Theory of Religion and Health
Driven by funding agencies, empirical research in the social scientific study of health and medicine has grown in quantity and developed in quality. When it became evident, in what is now a tradition of inquiry, that people’s religious activities had significant health consequences, a portion of that body of work began to focus more frequently on the relationship between health and religion. The field has reached a point where book-length summari…
A Market Theory of Religion
References to market phenomena are common enough in the sociology of religion, but despite the proliferation of systems of concatenate propositions that have been tested with survey and church membership data, little has been done to develop the conceptualization of how a religious market works. Consequently there is a significant lack of correspondence in the literature between the role market phenomena play in economics and the role of market-l…

American Sociology of Religion
This is a collection of histories of various aspects of American sociology of religion. The contributions range from descriptions of early dissertations, accounts of changes in theoretical conceptualization, the evolution of studies of particular denominations, to the rise of new areas of inquiry such as globalization, feminism, new religions, and the study of the religious traditions of Latino/a Americans. Taken as a whole, the volume complement…
Chapter One. Early Dissertations In American Sociology Of Religion
This chapter describes twelve American dissertations in the sociological study of religion that were written before 1930. The earliest is sermonic in nature. The others better resemble the sociology of our day, but they reveal no conceptual development for the sub-discipline. Rather, they reflect typical studies found in general sociology in the universities at the time: a history of local charities sponsored by a denomination, an evaluation of m…

Dialecticizing The Types
The sociology of religion has long agonized over types of religion-church, sect, denomination, and the like. Excellent recent works dealing with the matter stiU leave disquieting ambiguities unad-dressed. The problem is dealt with by specifying a typological system with levels of inclusiveness. The result of this is a veritable lexicon of types, all mapped out on some axes. In addition, a number of dia-lectically-inspired hypotheses iUustrate the…

Ritual as a Form of the Religious Mentality
A grounded social inquiry into religion presupposes serious conceptualizations of typical religious phenomena, such as ritual. The concept of ritual should be one which pertains to ritual as a phenomenon in itself, not as a mere occasion for the workings of non-ritual and non-religious variables. A preliminary formulation of such a concept is attempted. Ritual is described as an embodiment of a presupposed set of attitudinal stances, demarcated b…
