I'm finding Modelling early Christianity (which I'm reading for my Doctorate in Ministry at King's College, London) very interesting. I've known about sociological approaches to Bible study for some time, and this book is helping me see something of the theoretical background for this method of interpretation. I am intrigued that modern analyses of, say, group relations, can be used to look at the way the early church formed. I've also been reading Anthony Gidden's writings on sociology, and I am about to tackle Berger and Luckman. Weber next!
I may write more on this as I continue to read the book, although as I also have an assignment to complete, this may not be for some time!
