| Summary: | Gender differences in religious behavior, beliefs, and roles have been widely researched over the last 50 years, resulting in an array of richly descriptive studies as well as additional research with inferential analyses. This volume's title, framed as a question, suggests a causal treatment of the topic, as does its objective as a social scientific attempt to explain why women are more religious than men. It seeks at the outset to establish systemic patterns of gender disparity through reference to empirical research using common measures of religiosity such as attendance at religious services, confirmations, prayer practices, and beliefs. |
