Sociology and Christianity? Attempting to bring sociology and Christianity together is like trying to mix oil and water. Christians seem to have as little regard for sociology as sociologists generally have for Christianity. However, in the middle of this conflict there is a group bold enough to all themselves "Christian sociologists"; they are not willing to be stereotyped, but are seriously committed to both Christianity and sociology.
The Sociological Perspective is a series of essays from a Christian point of view on topics typically covered in introductory sociology courses. These essays are written in a style that is appropriate to both undergraduate sociology students and professional sociologists interested in bringing faith commitments to the sociological task.
The editors' goal is to provide an understanding of societal forces that is informed by a Christian conscience. Toward that end certain recurring themes are found in this book: the need for informed Christian social action, the conflict between the individual and the community, the conflict between freedom and determinism, and the significance of social sin.
