Info tab content
Despite several hundred years of its advertised demise, religion is alive and booming in the 21st century. Sociological interest in religion is also at an all-time high, and the field is exploding with new (and revived) empirical and theoretical approaches. This course will ask these questions: 1) What does a sociological approach to the study of religion consist of? 2) What are the basic components of religion and how do they work together? 3) How do social factors affect religious belief and behavior? 4) What are the causes and effects of religious change? 5) What is the relationship between religion and public life in modern society?
