SOC 349 - Sociology of Religion Spring

Institution:

California Baptist University

Subject:

Description:

As social scientists we explore the separation of the cultural constructs of religion and theology.We will apply social science theories and perspectives to the understanding the human and social side of religion. Investigation of the social side of religion involves examining the organization of religious groups, their cultural settings, their political and economic correlates, and their capabilities as agents of social change. In general, we examine the interrelations between religions and other institutions in society. In addition, we will explore the intersections between the secular social construct of religion, the cultural-Christian expression of religion, and the Biblical model of kinship relations, community, inheritance, and the appropriate relationship of these elements.
