Sociology
Explore the Intersection of Your Self and Your Society
As Christians, we know that when we care for the “least of these” (Matthew 25:40), we do so for Jesus. As scripture explains, we should feed the hungry, nourish the thirsty, welcome the strangers, clothe the needy, tend to the sick, and care for the incarcerated. Sociology helps us understand the social circumstances surrounding poverty, sickness, crime, and more. Furthermore, sociology helps us understand how power, policing, politics, law, and media influence society and social standing. In this way, the study of society can help us as Christians care for the “least of these” in our communities and in our world.
