Description

Bourdieu on Religion introduces students to Pierre Bourdieu's groundbreaking theoretical framework for understanding how religion operates within society. This study guide explores Bourdieu's most important concepts - cultural, social and symbolic capital; habitus and field - and his critical analysis of social inequality structures. Bourdieu was one of the most influential social theorists of the twentieth century, developing ideas that illuminate how individuals and groups construct meaning and value. His concepts have rapidly become essential tools for analysing religion's role in society, revealing the hidden mechanisms that shape belief systems and religious institutions. This book is invaluable for students seeking to understand how Bourdieu's sociological theory applies to religious practice, faith communities and the legitimacy of religious authority.

Key Features

Bourdieu on Religion breaks down key theoretical concepts including cultural, social and symbolic capital essential to understanding Bourdieu's approach to religious analysis.

The study guide introduces habitus and field theory, foundational concepts that explain how religious systems maintain power and structure within society.

Published by Routledge, this book presents Bourdieu's challenge to structures of social inequality and how they operate through religious institutions.

This Key Thinkers volume makes Bourdieu's complex sociological framework accessible to students of religion, theology and religious studies.

The book explores how individuals and groups find value and meaning through religion using Bourdieu's productive analytical lens on faith and legitimacy.
