TL;DR: In the last chapter it became clear that there were many scandals in the clerical estate, but that the clergy were by no means so black as they have sometimes been painted as discussed by the authors.

Abstract: Many years ago a contributor to the Dublin Review wrote about the XV century: “ This epoch was an eclipse—a very Egyptian darkness; worse than Chaos or Erebus—black as the thick preternatural night under which Our Lord was crucified ”.I Had this statement been true it would have been easy to account for the Reformation. It is false, and the Reformation has still to be explained. In the last chapter it became clear that there were many scandals in the clerical estate, but that the clergy were by no means so black as they have sometimes been painted. In this chapter it should become clear how, in spite of wickedness and superstition, there was a popular religion—real, sincere and active. There have never been any good old times; but in reviewing the past it is possible to overestimate our superior enlightenment.

TL;DR: The concept of religious socialization remains a widely used concept amongst scholars who direct attention to the social patterns that underline the formation of religious attitudes as discussed by the authors. But, as discussed in this paper, it is not a suitable approach for the study of the social formation of attitudes.

TL;DR: A study among 353 students in the helping professions in the West Bank indicates a high level of agreement among students in viewing situations of abuse as well as neglect as maltreatment and an inclination was found among students to minimize social and cultural factors as risk factors.

The political culture of the 1990s immigrants from the former Soviet Union in Israel and their views toward the indigenous Arab minority: a case of ethnocratic multiculturalism

Abstract: This paper deals with the potential and actual impacts of the 1990s immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) on the state of multiculturalism, peace orientation and civil society in Israel. It examines the attitudes of these immigrants toward the character of Israel and their location in its cultural fabric. At the same time, it explores their stand toward the indigenous Palestinian Arab citizens and the prospects of creating an all‐encompassing civil culture. The analysis shows that immigrants are tending toward the expansion of pluralism and the secularisation of Israel, and a redefinition of the legitimate borders of Israeli society. However, this orientation is not based on a holistic perspective. It is, rather, aimed at serving the needs of the immigrants themselves and facilitating their integration into the existing ethno‐national structure from an advantaged position. Therefore, they are expected to reinforce a system of exclusion that places the indigenous Arab population beyond the pale. In...

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive theoretical framework of religious practice is proposed, based particularly on the works of Stark and Glock, that may be used in comparative research among adherents of different religious traditions, taking into account the contributions of Bajzek, Milanesi and Schlenker.

Abstract: This article seeks, first, to offer a comprehensive theoretical framework of religious practice — based particularly on the works of Stark and Glock — that may be used in comparative research among adherents of different religious traditions. Secondly we clarify the role of the agents of religious socialization and their function as "reference others", taking into account the contributions of Bajzek, Milanesi and Schlenker. The empirical analysis of the data based on these theoretical considerations brings to light a model of institutional religious practice whereby Christian, Islamic and Hindu traditions may be compared. The results also underscore the association between the religious community and involvement in institutional religious practices in the case of the three religious groups and the differentiated impact of the other agents of religious socialization in the case of each religion. A further finding is that gender affects particularly the Christians in their institutional religious practices. The paper ends with a discussion of these findings.

Abstract: This study used latent class analysis (LCA) to empirically derive profiles of religious involvement among a sample of 808 young adults and describe ethnic and gender differences within such religious involvement patterns. Items on the Duke Religion Index (DRI) were included as part of a larger longitudinal survey of emotional, physical, and behavioral health. The scale measured the organizational, nonorganizational, and intrinsic dimensions of religiosity (Koenig et al. in Handbook of religion and health, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2001) in a sample of young adults at two waves of the study—age 27 and age 30. At age 27, five religious profiles were distinguishable in the sample while at age 30 six profiles emerged. Ethnic differences were found for each of the religious profiles where religious involvement manifested in different ways. Religious profiles between ages 27 and 30 changed over time and were affected by gender and ethnicity.

...As minority religions comprise such a heterogeneous group of communities, from New Religious Movements to immigrant groups, many studies focus on specific cases, often Muslims (e.g., Maréchal et al. 2003) or groups in the United States (e.g., Jones et al. 2011)....
