| Summary: | There is no great methodological ferment or public dispute over findings which would focus this essay. Indeed, works such as Habits of the Heart and All Faithful People use radically different methods and have radically different outlooks on the current religious situation. Historically, we have confused religion with creed or with churches. Bellah, Greeley, Luhmann, and Wuthnow are scholars who have attempted to lead the discipline beyond the current impasse. The argument is that we should see religion as a way of being in the world; an attempt to rescue the time being from obscurity. |
