With a focus on systems and a holistic interpretation of religion, the author uses a systems approach to construct a synthesis of the salient literature on the link between religion and the family. Five system that are embedded in the neofunctionalist theoretical framework are presented: the chronosystem, the organic system, the personality, the social system, and the cultural system. These systems are unified by common religious concepts, including: the idea of the sacred, religious experience, ritual, ethos, and sacred organizations. 4aReligion and sociology a10108/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10107/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10108/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10107/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10107/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10108/MKRI-P/XI-2008
