Reviews

"From the reviews: ""This volume is organized around the major subdisciplines of sociology as a whole. a ] The Handbook of Religion and Social Institutions does accomplish what it sets out to do. Non-specialists in religion will find in this volume a good starting place for seeing the relationship between their own areas of interest and religion. Sociologists of religion interested in learning more about areas outside their own research interests will also find this to be a good place to start."" (Arthur L. Greil, Sociology of Religion, 2008)"
