Sociology of Reigious<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Drawing mainly upon Max Weber\u2019s sociology of religion\u2014his virtuoso\/mass religiosity distinction, the sect-church dynamic, the communicative linkages between creators and social carriers\u2014you are to investigate the social history of a religious movement or \u201cheresy\u201d that \u201cfailed\u201d to achieve prominent world-historical status. That is to say, choose a cult, sect, or other religious organization that either: <\/span><\/p>\n a) faded into oblivion; <\/span><\/p>\n b) was absorbed into a more successful movement; or <\/span><\/p>\n c) maintained only a modest, marginal, or \u201cniche\u201d social presence throughout its history. <\/span><\/p>\n You are to offer a sociological explanation of the historical trajectory of that particular religious movement. Organize your thoughts by drawing mainly upon our discussion of Weber\u2019s historical-sociological approach from the lectures (and perhaps Bulliet\u2019s S<\/i>-curve conversion theory). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span>Attend especially to the key social structural factors that worked against any wider social successes of the movement, and also to the internal self-definitional, organizational, and doctrinal aspects that may have limited the religion\u2019s public appeal or efficacy. Any special historical circumstances should also be addressed. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sociology of Reigious Drawing mainly upon Max Weber\u2019s sociology of religion\u2014his virtuoso\/mass religiosity distinction, the sect-church dynamic, the communicative linkages between creators and social carriers\u2014you are to investigate the social history of a religious movement or \u201cheresy\u201d that \u201cfailed\u201d to achieve prominent world-historical status.
