This book establishes the relevance of social science for the study of religion and promotes a particular kind of social science. Even if we confine ourselves to academic disciplines, there are very many ways of viewing religion. Certain kinds of questions about religion can only be answered by the methods and approaches of social science: if one is interested in the social causes and consequences of religious belief and behaviour, then one has to do social science. Steve Bruce underlines the value of quantitative social research. He shows that while detailed ethnographies have enormous value in helping us get 'inside' religious belief and behaviour, they are severely limited by problems of scale and representativeness in their value for generating and testing explanations. While the primary focus is social research, the examples are drawn from studies of religious belief and behaviour, so it also presents a very large number of important observations about the nature of religion in the modern world Quantitative Methode (DE-588)4232139-6 gnd Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 gnd Sozialwissenschaften (DE-588)4055916-6 gnd Soziologie (DE-588)4077624-4 gnd Quantitative research Religion and sociology Social sciences Research Sciences sociales (RERO)A021065179 rero Religion (RERO)A021012687 rero Sociologie religieuse (RERO)A021009377 rero BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED 28.03.2019 nebis DS zbzmon201810f wuet zbzswk201810g schu idszbz Z2 RERO RE01040 RE01040 RE010400002 SHR RD-14 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2018 A 43672 Impression: 1 IDSBB A125 A125 125F2 UBW_MS_6550 44 NELA1251903 IDSBB B410 B410 410LF RW-Ab 338 NELB501RW1812 IDSBB 100 1- Bruce Steve 1954- (DE-588)171992733 Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Bruce Steve 1954- (DE-588)171992733 Verfasser aut RERO 100 1- Bruce Steve 1954- (IDREF)029324238 aut NEBIS ZAD50 EBI01 Z01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-0-19-878658-0_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006841125/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 551211792
