	God Beats Up on People Who Ask Useless Questions
		Berger returns again and again throughout the chapters of his book to this prototypical relationship between a parent and child and finds the unnecessary suffering and death of children, and all innocents, to be humanly unacceptable.
		Berger’s theological method is reminiscent of the ancient pseudonymous writer Dionysius the Areopagite who asked the question "what are the affirmative theologies and what are the negative?" Below I have excerpted some of the taken-for-granted negative theological notions discussed by Berger, followed by the reasons they ingratiate him.

	Content Pages of the Encyclopedia of Religion and Social Science
		Berger's work in sociology and theology is notable for the scope and depth of his analysis, the lucidity of his style, and the consistency of his efforts in facing some of the basic dilemmas posed by the modern age.
		Berger soon began applying this perspective to the sociological study of religion and, more specifically, to the analysis of modernity's impact on religious institutions and beliefs.
		Berger proposed an "inductive approach," a return to the spirit of the liberal theology initiated by Friedrich Schleiermacher and his followers.

	The Death of "Relevance" -- Monday, Oct. 11, 1971 -- Page 1 -- TIME
		Berger, 42, perhaps America's leading religious sociologist, first won attention with The Noise of Solemn Assemblies, a trenchant attack on the smug, conventional Protestant churches of the 1950s.
		Back then, Berger reminded the ecumenical leaders last week, he and other critics seemed to be "banging against the locked gates of majestically self-confident institutional edifices." The situation could not be more different today.
		In the years since, said Berger, Protestants have suffered a failure of nerve and are wallowing in "masochistic self-laceration" or "hysterical defensiveness." He bluntly told the ecumenists that their efforts to regroup as one big church are a waste of time unless Protestantism regains its self-confidence.

		In 1977, AEI published a now-famous essay by Peter L. Berger and Richard John Neuhaus that examined the crucial importance of such "mediating structures" as family, church, and neighborhood to a healthy civil society.
		The new and fruitful public policy approaches for the future, Peter Berger and Richard Neuhaus dared to suggest in 1977, do not lie in pursuing the lines of attack long beloved of both liberals and conservatives.
		Berger is professor of sociology at Boston University.

	Invitation to Sociology (Outline) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As I've said elsewhere in TSS, I think this book continues to be an excellent introduction to Sociology...despite some of its shortcomings (such as Berger's writing style and some of his particular philosophical views)...and even considering its 1963 copyright date.
		I've also utilized Berger's ideas (and those of C. Wright Mills) as an "evaluative standard" by which to assess the sociological ideas of other thinkers (go here to read that essay).
		My purpose with these outlines is to cut through some of Berger's unnecessary verbage and present the core ideas which are the essence of the book.

		Berger: Yes, for understandable reasons, and in affluent societies such as the United States, where there is a great choice and wealth of consumer goods and services, people tend to be quite generous.
		Berger: Yes, but also if you take Latin America it’s not so long ago that virtually all intellectuals in America, including Catholic intellectuals, were in one way or another committed to the idea you have described–there’s been a real change in this.
		Berger: I think cases exist where there are tensions that individuals who are in positions of responsibility have to work through.

	Hunter-CulturalAnalysis-TheWorkofPeter L. Berger..
		Cultural Analysis is a systematic examination of the theories of culture contained in the writings of four contemporary social theorists - Peter L. Berger, Mary Douglas, Michel Foucault and Jürgen Habermas.
		This study of their work clarifies their contributions to the analysis of culture and shows the converging assumptions that the authors believe are laying the foundation for a new approach to the study of culture.
		The focus is specifically on culture, a concept that remains subject to ambiguites of treatment, and concentrates on questions concerning the definition and content of culture, its construction, its relations with social conditions, and the manner in which it may be changing.

		FÃ¡cilmente se descubre que Berger y Luckmann ofrecen como campo de aplicaciÃ³n directa de su concepciÃ³n de la sociologÃa del conocimiento como anÃ¡lisis fenomenolÃ³gico de la construcciÃ³n social de la realidad, a la sociologÃa de la religiÃ³n, que incluso tiene lugar en el anÃ¡lisis de la modernidad.
		Para Berger es un la elaboraciÃ³n de un cosmos sacralizado y para Luckmann se trata de toda cosmovisiÃ³n, haciendo converger las teorÃas subjetivistas de Max Weber con las objetivistas de Ã‰mile Durkheim.
