Social Forms of Religion
European and American Christianity in Past and Present
Häftad, Engelska, 2024

Social forms of religion – the ways in which individuals and groups coordinate religious practice – produce community at the same time as they enable individual religious experiences. A mix of group, organization, market exchange, network, event, and/or other forms characterizes different traditions. Shifts in dominant social forms within a religious tradition are catalysts and expressions of religious transformation alike. The contributions to the volume test this argument by presenting Catholic, Protestant, Charismatic/Pentecostal, Orthodox, and Mormon case studies from Europe and the Americas.

When the Bell Telephone Company built their new research facility in 1957, they did not opt for a functional box but for a cathedral of glass, steel, and concrete, set in a meticulously landscaped park. What can we learn from this striking corporate architecture through which architect Eero Saarinen expressed that man had mastered nature and would solve all future problems? What can churches learn, which have also built striking concrete structures throughout the 1960s – buildings whose roofs are now leaking and whose heating systems are no longer operational? Christian Preidel argues that building today is not a symphony in glass and concrete but a social endeavour where people (and material) come together.
