Blasi. 330 $aSociology of Religion in America tells the story of the controversies involved in the development of a scientific specialty that often makes news in America. The evidence it presents runs contrary to the many myths about the field. Sometimes viewed by scholars as a backwater, actual evidence from the 1890's to the 1980's shows that sociology of religion had a steady presence in sociology all along. Seen as a force alien to religion by some, it was actually in a mutually supportive relationship with religious organizations. Examining dissertations dating from 1895 to 1959 and scientific articles from the 1960's to the 1980's, Anthony J. Blasi discovers who the major sociologists of religion were and what they did. He traces the field?s previously unknown tradition in community studies, the exigencies of the research institutes, and dramatic changes in the professional associations. 410 0$aStudies in the history of religions ;$vVolume 145. 606 $aReligion and sociology$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReligion and sociology 676 $a306.6072/073 700 $aBlasi$b Anthony J.$0864303 712 02$aUnited States, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453956503321 996 $aSociology of religion in America$91929243 997 $aUNINA
