Description
This study brings together two disciplines, now more and more considered being conjuncted. Both sociology and theology give an account of the human condition, but the majority of sociologists and theologians have dismissed each other's views as irrelevant.
Updated reprint of the book with the same title, published in 1980 by The Harvester Press.
