"The Social Sources of Denominationalism" is a foundational work in the sociology of religion, written by the influential theologian H. Richard Niebuhr. This insightful study examines the complex relationship between Christian theology and the social structures that drive church fragmentation. Niebuhr argues that the division of Christianity into various denominations is frequently the result of social, economic, and political factors-such as class, race, and national identity-rather than purely doctrinal differences.

Through a rigorous analysis of church history, the work explores how secular stratifications often dictate the boundaries of religious communities, challenging the church's claim to universality. Niebuhr critiques these "social sources" as ethical failures that impede the true mission of the faith, providing a compelling argument for the necessity of the ecumenical movement. This book remains a critical resource for scholars and readers interested in the intersection of faith and society, offering a profound look at how cultural forces shape religious institutions and collective identity.
