Rational Choice Theory and Religion considers one of the major developments in the social scientific paradigms that promises to foster a greater theoretical unity among the disciplines of sociology, political science, economics and psychology. Applying the theory of rational choice--the theory that each individual will make her choice to maximize gain and minimize cost--to the study of religion, Lawrence Young has brought together a group of internationally renowned scholars to examine this important development within the field of religion for the first time.
Lawrence A.Young is Associate Professor of Sociology at Brigham Young University. He is the co-author of FullPews and Empty Altars (1993) and co-editor ContemporaryMormonism (1994) .
