The publication of "Religion in Sociological Perspective," provides a fitting occasion for assessing the contributions of its editor, Charles Y. Glock. There are few sociologists of religion who could edit a volume consisting almost entirely of their own students' research. First published in 1965, "Religion and Society in Tension," remains one of the few texts on the sociology of religion built around the presentation of quantitative research findings. This volume contains a wealth of concepts, hypotheses, and measurement techniques, which have guided subsequent research. "Christian Beliefs and Anti-Semitism," and its sequel on the clergy, "Wayward Shepherds," have stimulated controversy both within and beyond the discipline of academic sociology. The first of these two volumes has become the most widely debated piece of policy research on religion in the U.S. to have appeared in several decades. The remaining two volumes are far less controversial, but nonetheless address fundamental questions in the sociology of religion. Published in 1967, "To Comfort and To Challenge," examines the basic characteristics and correlates of church membership in the U.S. The first volume of "American Piety," focuses upon Glock's earlier argument for the multidimensional measurement of religiosity.
