Description
Hardcover, 304 pages, published 2017. This comprehensive guide to religion offers a God-centered theory that explores the entire range of religious topics. Renowned sociologist Rodney Stark examines human motivations, the rise of monotheism, the discovery of sin, and the role of revelations in understanding why most people are religious. By limiting religions to systems of thought based on belief in supernatural beings-to Gods, Stark builds a framework that distinguishes between rational and irrational behavior. Stark's theory provides a thorough understanding of religion and its relationship with human societies, making this book an essential resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of faith.
