| Summary: | The sociology of religion has long agonized over types of religion—church, sect, denomination, and the like. Excellent recent works dealing with the matter still leave disquieting ambiguities unaddressed. The problem is dealt with by specifying a typological system with levels of inclusiveness. The result of this is a veritable lexicon of types, all mapped out on some axes. In addition, a number of dialectically-inspired hypotheses illustrate the happy tensions which are to be found within the property-space of typological ambiguities. Some implications for research are discussed. |
