| Zusammenfassung: | The European men canonized as the founders of sociology sought to explain the societal shifts they associated with modernization including urbanization, the development of bureaucracy, and the emergence of the nation state. In this essay, I suggest how developing theoretical and methodological tools have gone hand in hand with social changes and new questions about the place of religion in contemporary society to make religion more visible in the discipline of sociology. Seeing gender has also been problematic in sociology, although in somewhat different ways. I show how asking questions about gender illuminates the unevenness of the secularization process. I outline recent developments in feminist thinking. I show how considering gender and religion together enhances our understanding of both. |
