Gerhard Lenski wrote books on religion, stratification and social evolution. The literature is concernedwith the social organization and implications of inequality. "The Religious Factor" is about family life, politics, the relation of religion to science. Likewise, "Power and Privilege" suggests the importance of technology. "Human Societies" has roots in both the empirical, data-driven approach and the concern for an overall explanation of inequality. Lenski demonstrated that there need not always be a forced choice between breadth, depth, creativity and scholarly persistence.
