The Protestant Ethic Revisited

Philip S. Gorski, a Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies at Yale University, explores the intersection of Calvinism and state formation in early modern Europe in his work, "The Disciplinary Revolution." This book delves into how religious beliefs influenced the development of state power, examining the historical and sociological implications of this relationship. Gorski's expertise and scholarly perspective provide a nuanced understanding of the role of religion in shaping political structures.
