Sociology of Religion

Sociology of Religion Book Description: The "Sociology of Religion" book in your hands, which is the product of intense work and joint effort, will provide readers with basic knowledge in this field; history of sociology of religion, religion-society, religion-culture, religion-politics, religion-economy, religion-globalization etc. It will help to understand and analyze important issues that concern today's societies in these fields. In this sense, the recent rapid changes and developments on a global scale seem to have further increased the interest in social sciences in general and the sociology of religion in particular. The phenomenon of "religion" seems to have become even more important, especially for people who have to return to their individual lives as a result of the Covid-19 epidemic. The alternatives and solution suggestions that religion offers to people and societies in such critical periods of time also enrich the diversity of research topics of the sociology of religion. This book is the product of a meticulous study aiming to be a "handbook" for readers in the context of religion-society relations. We hope that our book can open new horizons to all our readers; I would like to thank all the authors who contributed. Prof. Dr. Emine ÖZTÜRK (From the Promotional Bulletin)
