This third edition introduces students to key principles in the sociology of religion-from history and theory to contemporary debates. This edition features new material on the relationships of religion to race and ethnicity, and to gender and sexuality, the perceived rise of both fundamentalism and secularism, global religion, and more.

Clearly written and comprehensive in scope, this revised edition provides a refreshing update of ongoing empirical developments, conceptual debates, and continuing challenges in understanding the complexity of religion in contemporary society.--Michele Dillon, University of New Hampshire; coauthor of American Catholics in Transition
I am very impressed with Sociology of Religion: Contemporary Developments. This volume provides a thorough treatment of sociological theories of religion and discusses an array of important conceptual issues in the field.--Dr. John P. Bartkowski, University of Texas at San Antonio
Sociology of Religion offers great coverage of topics, in terms of both breadth and depth. The book offers up-to-date treatment, an accessible and engaging writing style, and a very good supporting bibliography.--Andrew Dawson, Lancaster University, United Kingdom
Previous edition praise: This excellent book may well be the best text on the sociology of religion in print.--Teaching Sociology
