Summary, etc. Durkheim's Sociology of Religion Themes and Theories<br/>Emile Durkheim's greatest and last book, The Elementary Forms of the Religious<br/>Life, was published in 1912. It has become a classic, but although it is very frequently<br/>referred to, it has received little systematic treatment. Dr Pickering's aim in this book<br/>is not only to present an analysis of a large part of 7he Elementary Form1s but also to<br/>help the reader to come to terms with Durkheimian thought about religion in<br/>general. <br/>To study Durkheim's analysis of religion means examining the total corpus of his<br/>work and realizing that religion is central to his theory of society. Also, in<br/>paradoxical fashion, Durkheim attempted to explain religious phenomena by<br/>associating them with social phenomena. His work laid most of the foundations of<br/>the sociology of religion, which at a theoretical level has not developed much<br/>since his day. Daring and brilliant though a great deal of his analysis was, it has<br/>continually been the subject of debate because of its bold claims and questionable<br/>premises. Dr Pickering is concerned to state precisely Durkheim's position, the<br/>development of his ideas, and to assess criticism past and present. He also<br/>comments on Durkheim's 'religious' quest fulfilled in secular terms and on his attitude<br/>towards secularization and the Christian churches.
