2.0 out of 5 stars A "classic" that is now quite archaic, January 14, 2000
Weber's book was groundbreaking when it was first published. Even today, it is considered a classic. However, the reader should be informed that Weber's book is full of white Germanic Christian bias, a bias so strong at times that it harms the author's credibility. However, if read in tandem with later works which critique it, Weber's "Sociology of Religion" provides a glimpse of early 20th century sociological methodology

5.0 out of 5 stars What is Sociology?, June 14, 1999
By 
In reading books written by Weber, you should read this book at last. this book is very core of his idea, and it's the most important one in the present term. I profoundly hope you to read this book. You can get this book at 17.00$ at Borders book store, though Amazon com sells at 18.95.

Buy it, and read over and think about contents.
