Sociology of Religion represents a documented introduction to the history of sociological thought as applied to religious phenomena. It examines both the substantive and functional definitions of religion that are more open, pluralistic, and not inscribed in a single explanatory horizon or within a single confessional perspective. The contributors’ concerns are carefully written to show all sides of the argument. Roberto Cipriani argues for the simple definition that the sociology of religion is an application of sociological theories and methods to religious phenomena. Historically, close ties between sociology and the sociology of religion exist. The slow and uneven development of theory and methods affects the sociology of religion’s development, but the latter has also benefited from increasing precision and scientific validity. Other sociological writers agree and disagree about different approaches. Some assume it is a militantly confessional or anti-confessional; others remain neutral within their work.
Prepared for the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association and the Canadian Ethnology Society, this is the third guide providing detailed information on 76 departments and 1,427 individual scholars for university departments of sociology, anthropology and archaeology in Canada.

Sociologies of Religion: National Traditions presents fourteen histories of the sociological study of religion in a diverse set of nations. Each of the histories is newly written by author who are uniquely situated to tell narrate the story of the field in their countries.

The histories trace the various ways the field was established in different academic and religious contexts and the trajectories it took in emerging as a scientific specialty.

Ernst Troeltsch is widely recognized as having played an important role in the development of modern Protestant theology, but his contribution is usually understood as largely critical of traditional modes of theological inquiry. He is best known for his historicist critique of dogmatic theology, and seen either as the closing chapter of nineteenth-century liberalism, or as a proto-postmodernist. Central to this pivotal period in modern theology stands the problem: how can we articulate a doctrine of ultimate reality such that a meaningful and coherent account of the world is available without our understanding of God thereby becoming conditioned by the world itself? Evan Kuehn demonstrates ...
Ce livre étudie les rapports qu'entretiennent l'exil et la culture dans la conjoncture tragique des génocides ethniques, des fractures inidviduelles et collectives qu'ils provoquent massivement dans la personnalité même des victimes et la nécessité impérieuse d'une reconstruction identitaire des survivants à travers ce que l'auteur a appelé le « deuil culturel » pendant leur processus d'intégration dans leurs nouvelles sociétés d'accueil. L'expérience métonymique du vécu traumatique des réfugiés de Bosnie-Herzégovine accueillis au Québec depuis 1992 illustre le propos de cet ouvrage. Celle-ci fut marquée par les évènements de génocide ethnique, de déportation de mas...
