Peter L. Berger (1929–2017) was one of the most influential sociologists of the last sixty years. In the sociology of religion, his publications are among the key works of the discipline. This paper is a “positive critique” of three aspects of Berger’s theoretical work in the sociology of religion: (1) an inconsistent application of the idea of social construction, (2) a lack of focus on power and ideology, and (3) an insufficient operationalization of language as a vehicle of world-construction. Augmenting Berger’s field-defining work with insights from contemporary theories of ideology and discourse, the article provides an outline for a critical constructionist approach to the sociology of religion.

重新思考 Peter L. Berger 的宗教社会学的理论基础：社会建构、权力和话语

Peter L. Berger (1929–2017) 是过去 60 年中最具影响力的社会学家之一。在宗教社会学方面，他的出版物是该学科的重要著作之一。本文是对伯杰在宗教社会学中的理论工作的三个方面的“正面批判”：（1）社会建构理念的不一致应用，（2）缺乏对权力和意识形态的关注，以及（3）语言作为世界构建工具的操作性不足。这篇文章以当代意识形态和话语理论的见解来增强伯杰的领域定义工作，为宗教社会学的批判建构主义方法提供了大纲。
