The main purpose of this book is to examine religious action of society from the subjective point of view. In order to understand sociological reality of religion, Weber holds the importance of religious idea which cannot be reduced to the component of material interests (Marx) or to the social nexus and function (Durkheim). He studied first the influence of religious behaviour on ethics and economics and secondly on politics and education. Weber approached the sociology of religious through the concept of the divine which he felt was more fundamental than that of the divinity. This volume will play significant role in contemporary secular religious movement.
