This volume gathers together a collection of essays applying the theory of rational choice - the theory that each individual will choose to maximize gain and minimize cost - to the study of religion. The essays address the issue of why it is that individuals are drawn to a religion.
Rational Choice Theory and Religion considers one of the major developments in the social scientific paradigms that promises to foster a greater theoretical unity among the disciplines of sociology, political science, economics and psychology. Applying the theory of rational choice--the theory that each individual will make her choice to maximize gain and minimize cost--to the study of religion, Lawrence Young has brought together a group of internationally renowned scholars to examine this important development within the field of religion for the first time.
