?[This book] lists 1, 013 books and articles dealing with the sociology of religion. With few exceptions, the items are drawn from the literature of the last twenty years. English language items are predominant though there is a considerable number of items in other languages. Each item is accompanied by an annotation that gives the contents of the item and, whenever possible, referes to other items in the volume on the same subject. The items are divided into 24 subject sections, the first four of which deal with sociology of religion generalities (general works, classics, commentaries, journals) while the rest of the subject sections take up particular points in the sociology of religion (e.g., the Protestant ethic, typologies of religious organizations, sects and cults.... The compiler has prefaced his bibliography with an essay on the development of the sociology of religion from Durkheim and Weber on to the present and has fittingly and helpfully concluded his work with author, subject, and title indexes. The subject index is especially useful and gives full access to the wealth of information made available through this bibliography.
