Belief and Behavior Essays in the New Religious History

The contributors to this volume include the best of those scholars using social science methods and approaches to study religious history. After a period of neglect, religious history has reemerged as an important topic for professional historians. Like innovations in other subfields of history, the new religious history is now more analytical than narrative, often uses quantitative data, and focuses on institutions more than on individual leaders.Vandermeer, Philip R. is the author of 'Belief and Behavior Essays in the New Religious History' with ISBN 9780813516714 and ISBN 0813516714.
