  • More about A Sociology of Seeking: Portents of Belief

This book explores the remnants of Christianity in a progressively de-Christianized society and seeks to bridge the gap between sociology and theology. It examines the place of sociology in Christian theology and the failure of theology to connect to its surrounding culture, offering a narrative of belief following the direction of an exemplary portent: the finger.

This book delves into the remnants of Christianity that persist as eerie signs in a society gradually losing its faith. Taking the sociologist as an oracle searching for traces of Christianity within a discipline increasingly influenced by theological perspectives, it presents a narrative of belief that aligns with an exemplary portent: the finger. By examining broad cultural and historical trends, this study, informed by interactionist thought, explores the relationship between sociology and Christian theology and investigates the failure of theology to engage with its surrounding culture. It raises questions about how these two disciplines can collaborate beneficially, appealing to social theorists, theologians, and sociologists with interests in religion, culture, and secularization.
