Key Thinkers in the Sociology of Religion takes a focused look at the foremost figures in the development of the field. From the groundbreaking work of Max Weber, right up to that of contemporary writers such as Peter Berger and Niklas Luhmann, this volume is an essential companion for the student of sociology of religion.

Charting the development of theory in this area, each chapter looks at the life and work of an individual theorist, building to a picture of the field as it is today. Richard Fenn's book provides a route to a rounded understanding of the field, through the thought that defined it.

Industry Reviews

"I doubt if there is another text on key thinkers in the sociology of religion which offers anything remotely like Richard Fenn's truly remarkable text. Of course he tells you what his chosen exemplars actually say but he organises his and their thoughts around a rich and profound exploration of a key concept: the sacred. He brings to bear on the theme of the sacred a lifetime's original reflection and an amazing range of reference in the history of religion. This is a major work of interpretation by a master written with grace and with clarity." - David Martin, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics, UK, and Fellow of the British Academy
