A Sociology of Religious Emotion
Riis, Ole (, Professor of Sociology, University of Agder, Norway)
Challenging a contemporary tendency to over-emphasise the rational aspects of religion, Riis and Woodhead present a new methodology which shows how religious emotions arise in the varied interactions between human agents and religious communities, human agents and objects of devotion, and communities and sacred symbols.
