Product Description
Synopsis
A classic text that launched the discipline of the sociology of religion, by the principal founder of modern social science, this text is just one section of Weber's multi-volume treatment of economy and society, "Wirtshaft und Gesellschaft", which was unfinished when Weber died in 1920. Weber summarizes the theories and concepts upon which his sociology of religion rests, and masterfully demonstrates that throughout history, religion has been a significant dynamic factor in social change.

What is Sociology?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sociology of Religion (Paperback)
In reading books written by Weber, you should read this book at last. this book is very core of his idea, and it's the most important one in the present term. I profoundly hope you to read this book. You can get this book at 17.00$ at Borders book store, though Amazon com sells at 18.95.Buy it, and read over and think about contents.

A "classic" that is now quite archaic,
By Mike Fisher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Sociology of Religion (Paperback)
Weber's book was groundbreaking when it was first published. Even today, it is considered a classic. However, the reader should be informed that Weber's book is full of white Germanic Christian bias, a bias so strong at times that it harms the author's credibility. However, if read in tandem with later works which critique it, Weber's "Sociology of Religion" provides a glimpse of early 20th century sociological methodology
