Religious Terrorism and Human Rights in Iraq: The Intersection of Two Global Trends
Two contemporary global trends have their causal roots in world religious communities: the expansion of the human rights tradition and the growth of religious terrorism. 1 The simultaneity of these
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of the Modern Family
When Max Weber propounded his famous Protestant Ethic thesis, he curiously did not examine the impact of Calvinist ethics on the rise of the modern family. The argument developed herein proposes that the same religio-cultural forces which precipitated the takeoff of modern rational capitalism also laid the foundations for the emergence of the modern family by making love between spouses a religious duty and a means for glorifying God. In juxtapos…
In Search of Dreamtime: The Quest for the Origin of Religion
In this work of discourse analysis, Tomoko Masuzawa observes that the modern study of religion is peculiarly ambivalent toward the question of origin. Today's historians of religion maintain that they have abandoned speculative quests for the origin of religion; at the same time, they allege that concepts of absolute beginnings are fundamental to religion itself. By renouncing the desire for origins that they claim religious peoples embrace, hist…

Thinking Religion in the Global Circumstance: A Critique of Roland Robertson's Globalization Theory
]My contribution to this symposium on the globalization theory of Roland Robertson will cover two fundamental issues: 1) the analytical/empirical significance of the Orient in shaping the contours of globalization theory; and 2) the place of religion within the broader perimeters of the globalization paradigm, and by extension, the place of the sociology of religion among that panoply of disciplines currently engaged in the interpretive-explanato…

Sociology and New Testament Studies: A Critical Evaluation of Rodney Stark's Contribution
When Rodney Stark amended his backsliding ways and returned with self-confessed penitence to the sociology of religion after nearly a decade of pursuing false idols in other sociological specializations (Stark 1984:273), the event was heralded by such a flurry of articles appearing in such rapid succession that no one could doubt Rodney was truly back. Initially, many of these essays were focused on new religious movements, but other themes soon …
The Religion and Family Connection: Social Sciences Perspectives
Religion, Law, and the Human Condition
The central aim of this exercise in historical sociology is to develop an explanatory theory to account for the emergence of the notion of god-given rights, a religio-political-legal construct of overriding significance for the formation of the American polity. Three traditions are examined for their contribution to the framing of the notion of god-given human rights. The first was the Papal Revolution which resulted in the codification of Canon …

Reference Groups and Role Strains Related to Spiritual Well-Being
This paper is a prolegomenon to the development of a theoretical construct of spiritual well-being. The fundamental assumption undergirding this interpretation holds that spiritual health represents one dimension of a role-set for persons occupying the status position of member within a religious organization. Thus, the paper treats the interaction processes whereby believers strive to establish a viable definition of healthy religion in relation…

The Protestant Temperament: Patterns of Child-Rearing, Religious Experience, and the Self in Early America
Bringing together an extraordinary richness of evidence from letters, diaries, and other intimate family records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Philip Greven explores the strikingly distinctive ways in which Protestant children were reared in America. In tracing the hidden continuities of religious experience, of attitudes toward God, children, the self, sexuality, pleasure, virtue, and achievement, Greven identifies three distinct P…

Troublesome Transcendence: The Supernatural in the Scientific Study of Religion
Social theorists have encountered considerable difficulties in dealing with the troublesome phenomenon of religious transendence in their effort to generate a scientifically cogent understanding of religious ideas and behavior. This paper groups the various approaches of major theorists to the transcendent religious phenomenon under three types which are described as scientific reductionism, symbolic functionalism, and phenomenological numinalism…
