Rationalization of State and Society: A Weberian View of Early Japan
This paper attempts to interpret Japanese institutional syncretism in light of the Weberian theory of rationalization. Much of the historical evidence revolves about the codification of Japanese law and the increasing formalization (e.g., bureaucratization) of both the political state and religion in early Japan, and particularly in reaction to the influence of China. Weber's differentiation of the types of rationality have enabled us to interpre…

Rhetoric and Religious Experience: The Discourse of Immigrant Chinese Churches
This is a book about religious rhetoric, its cultural foundations, and its role in articulating sociocultural change and facilitating psychosocial adaptation to the demands of a new environment. It draws its inspiration from the work of F.G. Bailey, Kenneth Burke, and James Fernandez, and focuses on the ethnography of religious discourse as it relates to Chinese immigrant churches.

Revitalization Movement of Modern Japanese Civil Religion
This paper explores some dynamic aspects of the religio-political problems in Japan as expressions of the revitalization movement of modern Japanese civil religion, of which state Shinto is an important part. Many governmental leaders are convinced that Japan needs to restore its sacred Shinto symbols that once gave the people of Japan a strong national identity and cosmic unity. This conviction is expressed in political and religious leaders' pe…

Religious Commitment and Conservatism: Toward Understanding an Elusive Relationship
Gorsuch and Aleshire (1974) have advanced theoretical ideas to explain recurring findings in research which has examined relationships between religiosity and racial conservatism. In this paper, it is argued that these ideas are relevant to understanding not only religion's relationship to racial conservatism, but to other types of conservatism as well. Using a sample of Catholics, eight hypotheses are tested which link several different types of…

Community And Commitment Among Catholics: A Test Of Local-Cosmopolitan Theory
This study tests Roof's (1972,1976,1978) local-cosmopolitan theory of religious commitment using a sample of Catholics living in west Tennessee. Consistent with Roof's theory, local community reference (localism) had significant positive effects on four measures of religious beliefs and played a limited role in mediating the effects of education, size of hometown, and length of residence on these measures. However, localism had inconsequential ef…

Local-Cosmopolitan Theory and Religiosity among Catholic Nuns and Brothers
Roof's (1972, 1976, 1978) local-cosmopolitan theory of religious commitment is tested using a population of Catholic brothers and nuns living in West Tennessee. The findings provide rather strong support for Roof's theory. Local community reference (localism) had appreciable positive effects on seven religious belief and behavioral variables. Moreover, localism played a role (albeit a limited one) in mediating the effects of education, size of ho…

Formal Polity and Power Distribution in American Protestant Denominations
The purpose of this paper was to determine whether differences in religious denominations' formal polity structures (i.e., congregational, presbyterian, and episcopal patterns) contribute to vertical power differentials among their structural levels. Formal polity structure was measured as authority of local churches to hire and fire their ministers. Data from 26 Protestant denominations suggest a relationship between formal polity and the power …

Polity and Decision Premises: The Church and the Private School
C onsiderable evidence suggests that religious denominations' formal (traditional) polity structures, i.e., congregational, presbyterian, and episcopal patterns, persist in influencing internal control and other structural processes of contemporary denominations (e.g., see Harrison, 1959; Gustafson, 1963; Newman, 1970; Wood, 1970; Takayama, 1974 and 1975). Because denominations' formal polities embody traditional ethos and symbols, as well as the…
