Although current study in sociology emphasizes multiculturalism, sociological theory, grounded in the Judeo-Christian perspectives, provides only limited insight which can result in an inaccurate understanding of societal development. As Takebe noted in 1904, "the basic historical assumption of Christian creation theory has been penetrating the Westerner's mind, even the scholar's mind."
