The Church As A Social Institution: The Sociology Of American Religion is a comprehensive study of the role of religion in American society. Written by David Oscar Moberg, a leading sociologist of religion, this book explores the ways in which religion shapes and is shaped by social institutions, including the family, education, politics, and the economy.The book begins by examining the historical roots of religion in America, from the early colonial period to the present day. It then looks at the various religious traditions that have emerged in the United States, including Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam.Drawing on a wide range of sociological theories and research, Moberg explores the ways in which religion influences social behavior and attitudes. He examines the role of religion in shaping moral values, social norms, and political beliefs, and he discusses the ways in which religious organizations interact with other social institutions, such as the media, the legal system, and the economy.Throughout the book, Moberg emphasizes the importance of understanding religion as a social institution, and he argues that a sociological approach to religion is essential for understanding its role in American society. He also provides practical insights for religious leaders, policymakers, and others who are interested in promoting social change through religion.Overall, The Church As A Social Institution: The Sociology Of American Religion is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the complex relationship between religion and society in the United States. It is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand the role of religion in American life.Prentice Hall Sociology Series.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The first of three volumes, this definitive study explores the politics of social institutions, from the time of the ancient Greeks to the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Tony Burns focuses on those civil-society institutions occupying the intermediate social space which exists between the family or household, on the one hand, and what Hegel refers to as ‘the strictly political state’, on the other. Arguing that the internal affairs of social institutions are a legitimate concern for students of politics, he focuses on the notion of authority, together with that of an individual’s station and its duties. Burns discusses the work of such key thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Marsilius of Padua, Nicholas of Cusa, Jean Bodin, Charles Loyseau, John Calvin, Martin Luther and Gerrard Winstanley. He considers what they have said about the relationship that exists between superiors in positions of authority and their subordinates within hierarchical social institutions.

Excerpt from The Down-Town Church: A Study of a Social Institution in Transition The church, in common with most other social institutions, has recently been receiving much consideration from the viewpoint of social efficiency. There have been those on the one side, whose belief in the church as an institution of supernatural origin, whose devotion to it as the custodian of divine truth and ordinances, and whose admiration for its ideals and achievements, have blinded them to its actual condition. This attitude, while perfectly sincere, is manifestly unscientific. The true friend of the church is not he who doggedly affirms that it can have no faults, but he who recognizes that, whatever its origin and purpose, it is dependent upon human judgment for its policies and human personality for its progress, and is therefore liable to defect, and capable of improvement. On the other hand, there are those who freely criticize the church as an effete organization. They point to its feebleness and failure among certain classes, its seeming impotency in staying social decay, and its conservatism of thought and method, as indications of its passing power. They predict confidently that it is doomed to early extinction, and they infer that social progress would not be affected thereby. This attitude is also unscientific. Prof. Ward points out "that the proper and scientific attitude toward an institution that is regarded as bad is not wholesale condemnation and denunciation as something that is essentially bad and must have always been bad, but investigation to ascertain what stage of its history it is in, and whether it is in process of transformation, throwing off its outgrown elements and replacing them with elements adapted to existing conditions, and therefore useful.

Money is usually understood as a valuable object, the value of which is attributed to it by its users and which other users recognize. It serves to link disparate institutions, providing a disguised whole and prime tool for the “invisible hand” of the market. This book offers an interpretation of money as a social institution. Money provides the link between the household and the firm, the worker and his product, making that very division seem natural and money as imminently practical. Money as a Social Institution begins in the medieval period and traces the evolution of money alongside consequent implications for the changing models of the corporation and the state. This is then followed with double-entry accounting as a tool of long-distance merchants and bankers, then the monitoring of the process of production by professional corporate managers. Davis provides a framework of analysis for examining money historically, beyond the operation of those particular institutions, which includes the possibility of conceptualizing and organizing the world differently. This volume is of great importance to academics and students who are interested in economic history and history of economic thought, as well as international political economics and critique of political economy.

The goods that we pursue in our lives are for us, first and foremost, goods that are particular and personal, and thus goods that are immediate to our attention. Not readily apparent to us are goods necessary for the flourishing of our lives but that can be attained by us only in consort with others and thus realized only through collective action. Such goods are common goods. The wider the good, the more extensive must be the human cooperation to realize the good. A stable, orderly society and a habitable planetary environment are common goods that can be realized only in and through the cooperation of all for the benefit of all. That all contribute to the shared good of the whole is a matter of justice—social justice. Acting for the Common Good undertakes the study of social justice in light of the common good—this from the viewpoint of Catholic social teaching, which draws upon the tradition of the common good that is articulated classically in the philosophy of Aristotle and the theology of Thomas Aquinas and in the modern-day social thought and authoritative teachings of the Catholic Church.
