About This Item

Bristol, IN: Wyndham Hall Pr, 1985. Minor edge and corner wear, lightly scuffed and scratched, spine is lightly creased as well as the lower corner of the front of the wrapper, some light shelf wear, underlining and margin writing in pencil throughout the book, light stain on page 7 (does not affect readability), overall a nice used first edition! Extremely rare and hard-to-find title! Blue wrappers with white lettering. 102 informative and educational pages! Very very scarce and out-of-print! "This essay is an extension of work on the early years of American sociology that I presented in a similarly-titled article which was published in the Spring, 1983, issue of SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS. Those portions that are reprinted here from that piece appear with the gracious permission of the Association for the Sociology of Religion. I am pleased to be able to bring this present edition to publication because it enables me both to correct some minor errors in the article and to enlarge especially upon the topic of Institutes of Christian Sociology. As the discipline of sociology becomes incresingly conscious of issues of value and application, the relationship of the field to other value-orientations takes on renewed importance. Unfortunately, treatments of this aspect of the profession's early history have been confusing and innacurate. If there is one thing worse than ahistorical sociology, it is sociology doing bad history. I hope that through a judicious use of both primary and secondary materials I have brought some integrity to this sub-topic." ---- from the Preface.. First Edition / Second Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good-. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
