David Oscar Moberg (February 13, 1922 – September 6, 2023) was an American Christian scholar, who was Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Marquette University.
This book was based on the PhD research of both authors, and charted the sociological function of religion in the lives of older people.
[8] This textbook synthesized research data regarding the demographics of religious affiliation for Roman Catholics, Protestants and Jews, and the effects that churches have both intended and unintended upon social institutions and individuals.
[11] He held genuine concerns about the need for social reform and wrote books addressing American evangelicals about the legitimate contributions that Christians may make in the public square.
"[14] In the early 1970s, John Warwick Montgomery edited a series of seven books presenting evangelical perspectives on various current issues.
[19] His interest in the subject of church conflict led to a series of lectures about the tensions raised between the individual versus society that were subsequently published as Wholistic Christianity.
[20] As a practicing Christian, Moberg has had a long interest in the importance of a faith-commitment in the sociological work produced by religiously oriented sociologists.
[21] Moberg, together with some like-minded Christian sociologists, has been interested in going beyond the traditional secular values that have been foundational in the discipline of sociology to include greater sensitivity to the researcher's personal world-view about the transcendent.
[22] In recent years, Moberg has addressed various critical challenges to Christian belief from the standpoint of an apologist integrating faith with insights from sociology.
