{"product_id":"objective-religion-byron-r-johnson-9781481313650","title":"Objective Religion: Problems, Prosociality, Progress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough many scholars and commentators have predicted the death of religion, the world is more religious today than ever before. And yet, despite the persistence of religion, it remains a woefully understudied phenomenon. With \u003ci\u003eObjective Religion\u003c\/i\u003e, Baylor University Press and Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion have combined forces to select articles from the \u003ci\u003eInterdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion\u003c\/i\u003e that not only highlight the journal's wide-ranging and diverse scope, but also advance the field through a careful arrangement of topics with ongoing relevance, all treated with scientific objectivity and the respect warranted by matters of faith. This multivolume project seeks to advance our understanding of religion and spirituality in general as well as particular religious beliefs and practices. The articles in this second volume, \u003ci\u003eProblems, Prosociality, Progress\u003c\/i\u003e, examine the many ways in which religion is linked to prosocial behavior. Whether through classes, retreats, small groups, mission trips, church-sponsored volunteer work, or any number of related group functions, religious participation connects people to multiple networks of social support that are consequential and meaningful. These faith-infused, supportive social networks allow people to build a strong sense of belonging and serve as powerful independent predictors of beneficial outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Byron R.
