Undertaking his studies in sociology at the University of Leeds, Turner achieved first class honours in 1966 before obtaining his PhD in 1970. After completing his first book Islam and Weber in 1974, Turner went on to establish an international reputation in the sociology of religion, and has published extensively with numerous books, chapters and journal articles on a wide range topics from citizenship and human rights, to issues around the body, globalisation and classical social theory. His book Body and Society: Explorations in Social Theory is now in its third edition (2008) and remains a highly influential text in its field.
