Disruptive Religion: The Force of Faith in Social Movement Activism
ISBN: 9780415914055 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Solidarity in Poland, anti-apartheid in South Africa, Operation Rescue in the United States - each of these movements is driven by the energy and sustained by the commitment of many individuals and organizations whose ideologies are shaped and powered by religious faith. In many cases, religious resources and motives serve as variables explaining the emergence of entire social movements. Despite the crucial role of religion in most societies, this religious activism remains largely uninvestigated. Based on empirical evidence, this study also addresses many theoretical issues arising in the...

In recent decades Protestant evangelicalism has become a conspicuous and--to many Americans, worrisome--part of this country's cultural and political landscape. But just how unified is the supposed constituency of the Christian Coalition? And who exactly are the people the Christian Right claims to represent? In the most extensive study of American evangelicals ever conducted, Christian Smith explores the beliefs, values, commitments, and goals of the ordinary men and women who make up this often misunderstood religious group. The result is a much-needed contribution to the discussion of...

In innumerable discussions and activities dedicated to better understanding and helping teenagers, one aspect of teenage life is curiously overlooked.

Teenagers feel good about the congregations...

The Sacred Project of American Sociology
ISBN: 9780199377138 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Counter to popular perceptions, contemporary American sociology is and promotes a profoundly sacred project at heart. Sociology today is in fact animated by sacred impulses, driven by sacred commitments, and serves a sacred project. Sociology appears on the surface to be a secular, scientific enterprise--its founding fathers were mostly atheists. Its basic operating premises are secular and naturalistic. Sociologists today are disproportionately not religious, compared to all Americans, and often irreligious. The Sacred Project of American Sociology shows,...

The Bible Made Impossible – Why Biblicism Is Not a Truly Evangelical Reading of Scripture
ISBN: 9781587433290 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Biblicism, an approach to the Bible common among some American evangelicals, emphasizes together the Bible's exclusive authority, infallibility, clarity, self-sufficiency, internal consistency, self-evident meaning, and universal applicability. Acclaimed sociologist Christian Smith argues that this approach is misguided and unable to live up to its own claims. If evangelical biblicism worked as its proponents say it should, there would not be the vast variety of interpretive differences that biblicists themselves reach when they actually read and interpret the Bible. Far from challenging the...

ISBN: 9780520235618 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sociologists, historians, and other social observers have long considered the secularization of American public life over the past hundred and thirty years to be an inevitable and natural outcome of modernization. This groundbreaking work rejects this view and fundamentally rethinks the historical and theoretical causes of the secularization of American public life between 1870 and 1930. Christian Smith and his team of contributors boldly argue that the declining authority of religion was not the by-product of modernization, but rather the intentional achievement of cultural and intellectual...
