About The Book

In the preceding book, we have examined in detail the meaning of family and religion. Human beings as social entities are part of the global family of the world and the particular culture and social strata in which one lives inseparably related to individual through his/her family, neighborhood, education and social surroundings. Though religion, culture and society are independent subject in themselves, they influence one another and have a serious impact on human values of family life. Family life education is based on values and relationships. Many people yet have to become aware of the changes that have already overtaken patterns of family life and they have also to know how to handle them. Some take for granted that all families of all time have a permanent basis, untouched by contemporary problems and social changes. This is not true, as families have been exposed to the changing patterns of culture in an age of globalization. In fact family is a word that triggers emotions in most people.

Preface

In order to understand the significance of religion and family for both the private and public spheres, we must see clearly their unique characteristics and how they interrelate. The inter- institutional relations between family and religion are strong and qualitatively different from other institutional relationships. Berger noted that in pre-modern societies kinship was permeated with religious meaning, and in modern societies religion remains closely connected to the family. Hargrove in her systematization of the sociology of religion, argued that religion and family have had a close relationship throughout history in both Western and non- Western societies. D'Antonio and colleagues also stressed the significance of the connections between these two institutions.

Both the familial and religious institutions are characterized by what Maclver called cultural rather than secondary interests. In other words, associations within the religious and familial spheres pursue interests for their own sake, because they bring direct satisfaction, not because they are means to other interests, as in the case of economy and polity. Both family and religion are devoted to organizing primary group relations. They stand out as the only two institutions that deal with the person as a whole rather than just segmented aspects of individual lives. These various similarities that religion and family share serve to strengthen the inter-institutional ties between them.
