Abstract
In this chapter the issues of sociology and its relationship to the Christian religion will be examined. The main question addressed will be that of the possibility of a Christian viewpoint within sociology. This will involve sociological, philosophical and theological discussions. Finally I will consider how this viewpoint might be operationalised in this study. Discussion of the relationship between sociology and Christianity is centred around the approaches exemplified by Berger and Jackson, Plantinga and Wolterstorff, John Milbank and Martin and Gill.
