REL 468: Sociology of Religion Professor Jeanette Reedy Solano USC, Fall 2000 Course Hours: T, TH: 11:00-12:20 Course Description: How do social scientists approach the study of religion? What methods, biases, tools, and strategies are involved? Is there such a thing as an "objective, scientific" approach to a subject as volatile, personal, and complex as religion? We will begin to respond to these basic queries by turning to both classical and contemporary sociologists of religion. We will then focus on the fascinating evolution of spirituality in North America, aided by sociologist of religion Wuthnow. Moving from the general to the specific, we will focus on the history of the Holiness-Pentecostal tradition and explore local Angeleno Pentecostalism. Finally, we will consider how religion is mediated to the masses through the media. Our methodology will include fortifying ourselves with theory, critiquing it and applying it in the field as we examine Pentecostal churches in L.A. The class dynamic will be a mixture of both lecture and discussion. The aim of this course is to evaluate and familiarize ourselves with social scientific approaches to the study of religion. After completing this class, not only will media coverage of the Pope be read with a trained eye, but you will emerge with a thorough understanding of social scientific approaches to the study of religion. TEXTS WHICH WILL GUIDE OUR EXPLORATION (Required Course Books): Covington, Dennis

Scope and Objectives of Course Religion and society are profoundly intertwined, and mutually influence each other in the contemporary world as much as in earlier epochs. A basic sociological focus of this course is to examine the extent and the variability in terms of which religion is a social phenomenon and the extent to which various institutions and ideologies – even seemingly "secular" ones—partake of the religious. While religion as a social institution often serves to legitimate the established social order, it also often serves to challenge authority. A related dualism is that while religion is a powerful source of social integration, establishing a consensus necessary for a sense of community, it can also be a powerful source of social and ethnic conflict. The course seeks for students to develop a sociological awareness of the complexity of the interrelationships of religion and society. We will do this in lectures and readings, going from readings of the great sociological classics in this area, to dealing with the peculiarity of the United States being "exceptional" among advanced modern societies by a high level of religious activism in all the major religious communities, unlike other Western societies which have seen a long-term decline in the public significance of religion. The course will then look at changes and crises in the past half-century and even more recently, in the United States as well as abroad, which suggest new dimensions and vitality for the social presence of religion in this "millennial decade". Supplementary materials will be drawn from guest lecturers and video films.

Original Web Document: http://www.uwf.edu/~socanth/syo4200.htm SYO 4200 - Sociology of Religion SYLLABUS Faculty: Dr. Dallas Blanchard Department: Sociology/Anthropology Semester Hours: Term: Fall 1997 COURSE DESCRIPTION COURSE OUTLINE LEARNING REPORT OBJECTIVES ... OFFICE HOURS COURSE DESCRIPTION This course seeks to introduce undergraduate students to the nature and functions of religious beliefs and institutions in modern societies, with a primary emphasis on conditions in the contemporary United States. Throughout the course, a distinctively sociological perspective is employed to evaluate claims about the viability of religion in what has come to be called a "post-traditional," "post-Christian" or "post-modern" world. As today it appears that there is a religious resurgence, how does one account for the notable absence of religious values as animating forces outside the private lives of individuals? If this is indeed this is a secular society, what explains recent rapid growth in the memberships of conservative religious bodies or the high levels of interest in non-Western spiritual practices such as Yoga, Zen, and Islam (the fastest growing religion in the U.S.)not to mention a global resurgence of religious fundamentalisms? Has America shed religion just in time (for, some would contend, belief today is a major handicap in the development of a real understanding of the world's predicaments), or is this nation only now beginning to realize the dangers of a society bereft of the collective purpose symbolized in religious communality? If this is a secular society, how do we explain the role of the Moral Majority or the Christian Coalition?

CALL FOR PAPER ASSOCIATION FOR THE SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION 2002 Annual Meeting Essex Inn, Chicago, August 15-17, 2002 FREEDOM AND CONTROL Throughout its history, sociology has been concerned with the ways in which individuals and groups are both controlled and enabled through the functioning of different levels of society. What we hope to explore at this meeting are the ways in which both institutionalized religions and spiritual cultures can affect and be affected by individuals and other aspects of society such as the economy, politics, the legislature, the workplace and the family. We encourage you to submit papers on such topics, as well as on others within the social scientific study of religion. Thematic sessions and essays are invited on the following themes in particular: Religious socialization New technologies of control and opportunity Evangelization and proselytism Legislation and law enforcement in the area of religion Homogenizing and diversifying aspects of the media Resource allocations in situations of religious pluralism and diversity Liberation theology Mysticism or escapism?

As an introductory course in the area, it seeks to acquaint the student with the broad range of issues, concepts, and theories that have shaped the discipline of the sociological study of religion. The course introduces students to the main concepts, questions, issues, and debates in the sociology of religion as a discipline. The course begins with a consideration of what religion is from a sociological viewpoint. We examine various definitions and approaches to determine what a sociological analysis of religion can and cannot do. Subsequent topics are as indicated in the outline below. The emphasis in this course is on acquiring and using sociological concepts as they apply to religion. The course assumes no prior study of either sociology or religion at the university level, although quite obviously such previous study can increase the value of the course for individual students.

Religious beliefs and practices account for both long-standing social traditions and religious movements that challenge the status quo. Religion also constitutes important aspects of social, national, ethnic, and racial identity. This course will examine societal and global change and the impact religion has in promoting change and responding to change. Course Organization In this course we will examine issues of modern cultural, political, and economic change, focusing on how these changes are influenced by and responded to by religious institutions throughout the world. We will analyze: 1) cultural, economic and political theories of globalization and global change; 2) the beliefs and rituals of many of the world's major faith traditions; 3) how the world's faiths are responding to global change; 4) Max Weber's theory of religious change; and 5) the rise of global fundamentalism. Research Projects The class will present a mock professional conference April 16 and 23. The conference Call for Papers will be available February 5 and the proposals will be due March 5. Each student will make a 15-20 presentation as part of a conference paper. Although the presentation may be presented as a lecture, creativity is encouraged. (Please talk to me about your plans before going ahead with any alternative formats). Please plan on including a handout for the class with your presentation.

Day 9 (July 1): Demography and Sociology of Religion in the U.S. a)Morning Session - The New Pluralism This session will examine demographic trends over the past half-century. Major trends include declines in mainline Protestantism; growth in evangelical, fundamentalist, and pentecostal Protestantism; expanding numbers of Catholics due largely to in-migration of Latino populations; growth in other religions, especially Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and numerous religious and spiritual movements including New Agers; and growth of the religiously non-affiliated sector. Socio-historical sources of these trends and reconfigurations will receive attention plus the importance of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of the U.S. Congress in 1965, which opened the way to massive entrance of "new immigrant" religions.  Video and discussion.

SOAN 332: Sociology of Religion Fall 1996 Instructor: Jim Spickard return to list of syllabi Larsen 230 Larsen 233 (x4281) Religion is a key part of every society on earth. From the Stone Age to the Space Age, religion has given people a sense of themselves and their cosmos. It has held societies togetherand has also at times torn them apart. It is at once a source of meaning and a source of confusion, both to individuals and to groups. The founders of sociology tried to diagnose the ills of modern society by looking at its religions. In this course, we shall do the same. Through lectures, films, field trips and independent projects, we will come to understand the structure of modern religious life, its recent changes, and the significance of those changes for society at large. In the process, you will be invited to: appreciate religious perspectives other than your own; see the effects of social organization on religious life; understand the role religions and religious notions play in society at large.
