Max Weber argued that a religious group or individual is influenced by all kinds of things but if they claim to be acting in the name of religion, we should attempt to understand their perspective on religious grounds first. He gives religion credit for shaping a person's image of the world, and this image of the world can affect their view of their interests, and ultimately how they decide to take action. For Weber, religion is best understood as it responds to the human need for theodicy and soteriology. He believes that human beings are troubled with the question of theodicy. How can the extraordinary power of a divine god be reconciled with the imperfection of the world that he has created and rules over? People need to know, for example, why there is undeserved good fortune and suffering in the world. Religion offers people soteriological answers, or answers that provide opportunities for salvation - relief from suffering, and reassuring meaning. This volume is a collection of ten articles by Christopher Adair-Toteff that examine the fundamental aspects of Max Weber's sociology of religion. They were published between 2002 and 2015 in various renowned journals and deal with different topics such as charisma, asceticism, mysticism, theodicy, prophets, and "Kulturprotestantismus." In his work, the author attempts to understand, clarify, and interpret key concepts and themes in Weber's sociology of religion.

Ce livre collectif interroge la fécondité heuristique de la démarche wébérienne pour les sciences sociales d'aujourd’hui, alors même que celles-ci s’interrogent à nouveau sur leur fondement et sur leur objet. Il entend contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de l’œuvre de Max Weber à un moment où les références à celle-ci sont devenues plus nombreuses mais le plus souvent convenues, quand elles ne sont pas de l’ordre de la seule incantation ou qu’elles ne se réduisent pas à des stéréotypes rebattus.Alors que l’œuvre wébérienne articule en permanence analyse empirique, construction théorique et réflexion méthodologique, sa réception française a été et reste davantage cantonnée dans l’approche théorique et exégétique. Autour de quatre thématiques, le droit, la bureaucratie, la démagification du monde et l’art et la technique et en faisant appel, au-delà des spécialistes de Weber, à des chercheurs d’horizons divers qui « travaillent avec Max Weber », cet ouvrage veut rompre avec l’opposition stérile et inappropriée entre un Weber empiriste et un Weber théoricien et il ouvre le champ à des usages pluriels de l’œuvre wébérienne, sortant ainsi du seul domaine des « études wébériennes » , sans renoncer pour autant à la rigueur théorique et à la vigilance critique dont Weber reste un modèle.

Based on analyses of the essays written by Max Weber on China, India, ancient Judaism and also on the dispersed material about Islam, Eastern Christianity and Occidental Christianity, this book examines the economic ethics of Asian and Christian traditions and their corresponding legal systems. Drawing also on Weber's methodology (particularly the concept of adequate causation), the author reveals that the nature of Asian religions as well as the nature of customary and other not formally rational laws in Asian cultures could not lead to modern capitalism out of their own sources, although capitalism could be adopted from the outside. The culture of the Occident, upon which capitalism is based, is revealed to consist of a double rationalisation: the formal rationality of the exterior circumstances of life (administrative and legal) and the innerworldly practical rationality of the inner motivations of the Protestants, supported by a goal-oriented rational technology.
