Christian Perspectives on Sociology

Christian Perspectives on Sociology is a collection of essays dealing with the various subfields of sociology covered in introductory sociology courses. The contributors represent a broad range of theological and sociological perspectives; they come from various Christian colleges and address the subfields in which they are most competent. The common denominator for them is a commitment to sociology as a discipline and a commitment to integrating the discipline with their Christian faith. All are committed to the lordship of Jesus Christ and the infallibility of the Bible. The book is not designed to replace a standard secular text but rather to supplement it. The subjects discussed are: The Study of Sociology: An Introduction Research Methodology in Sociology Culture, Biblical Authority, and Cultural Relativity Socialization Status and Role Social Stratification: Social Class and Social Mobility Deviance ad Social Control Groups Marriage and the Family Economics Politics Education Religion Formal Organizations Minority-Majority Relations Collective Behavior and Social Movements Demography, Population, and Ecology Communities and Urbanization Social Change Sociology and the Christian --- from book's back cover
