Religion and Social Problems Hardback
Edited by Titus Hjelm
Part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series
Hardback
Description
Although students and scholars of social problems have often acknowledged the role of religion, no thorough examinations of the relation between the two have emerged.
This volume fills this gap by providing a definitive work on the role of religion in assessing, constructing, and solving social problems.
Contributors chart the relation between religion and social problems, exploring such case studies as the impact of religion on drugs and alcohol use among Muslims, the rising importance that religion is given in social policy, the role of the Orthodox and Catholic churches in tackling social problems in post-communist East Europe, and the contested role of religion in the national and international politics of contemporary Japan.
Religion and Social Problems is a broad and path-breaking contribution to the fields of sociology of religion, sociology of social problems, and religious studies.
