In this volume, Christopher Adair-Toteff elucidates the meanings and functions of a number of fundamental concepts in Max Weber's sociology of religion. While Weber is widely recognized as one of the founders of the field of the discipline, there remain many disagreements about the nature of his investigations. Because sociology of religion is still a relatively new discipline, there many questions about its scope and methods linger. For example, it is not sufficiently clear what, exactly, Weber meant when he referred to 'world religions,' and it is not completely evident how his Protestant ethic study fits into his overall conception of sociology of religion. Whether one believes that Weber was or was not a Neo-Kantian, it is clear that he shared their emphasis on the fundamental importance of concepts. Unfortunately, Weber often did not provide definitions for his concepts, thus there is some confusion by what he means by them. This is especially the case with respect to some of his concepts in his sociology of religion. This volume works to address these ambiguities and omissions.

Max Weber argued that a religious group or individual is influenced by all kinds of things but if they claim to be acting in the name of religion, we should attempt to understand their perspective on religious grounds first. He gives religion credit for shaping a person's image of the world, and this image of the world can affect their view of their interests, and ultimately how they decide to take action. For Weber, religion is best understood as it responds to the human need for theodicy and soteriology. He believes that human beings are troubled with the question of theodicy. How can the extraordinary power of a divine god be reconciled with the imperfection of the world that he has created and rules over? People need to know, for example, why there is undeserved good fortune and suffering in the world. Religion offers people soteriological answers, or answers that provide opportunities for salvation - relief from suffering, and reassuring meaning. This volume is a collection of ten articles by Christopher Adair-Toteff that examine the fundamental aspects of Max Weber's sociology of religion. They were published between 2002 and 2015 in various renowned journals and deal with different topics such as charisma, asceticism, mysticism, theodicy, prophets, and 'Kulturprotestantismus.' In his work, the author attempts to understand, clarify, and interpret key concepts and themes in Weber's sociology of religion.
