Sociology by Matthew S. Vos

Pages: 48 | $4.99 | Booklet

This is the first booklet in our new series: Faithful Learning. Other booklets in this series that will be released the middle of July are: An Invitation to Academic Studies and Philosophy.

Summary:

“My confidence in the power of truth is not separable . . . from trust in all my companions who are bound to its cause. Faith is a dual bond of loyalty and trust that is woven around the members of such a community.”
—H. RICHARD NIEBUHR, Christ and Culture

We are made for fellowship—fellowship with God and with others. None of us can know who we are by looking only at what is inside us and ignoring our relationships—after all, Christ asks us to be in the world but not of it. This is where sociology, the study of how we fit into groups, comes in.

Matthew Vos offers an introduction to sociology and describes how sociology sees and studies the world, the world’s issues, and our own troubles—all with the goal of bringing new depth to our understanding of our relationships with God and the world.

About the Series:

The Faithful Learning series invites Christian students to dive deeper into a modern academic discipline. The authors, scholars in their fields, believe that academic disciplines are good gifts from God that, when understood rightly, will give students the potential to cultivate a deeper love for God and neighbor.

About the Author:

MATTHEW S. VOS (MEd, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga; PhD, University of Tennessee at Knoxville) is professor of sociology at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia.
