Description

Explore the complex reality of new religious movements with this updated and revised second edition from Oxford University Press. This text examines why these movements are often viewed with curiosity, amusement, or anxiety by the general public. Rather than focusing solely on media portrayals of tragedy or oddity, this book looks at the actual lived experiences of these groups. Readers will learn how these organizations often challenge popular social expectations. The text covers various aspects of their structure, including communal living arrangements, alternative leadership roles, and unique economic dispositions. It also examines how these movements introduce new political and ethical values that differ from mainstream norms. This academic resource provides a deep look into the social organization of new religions and how they interact with society. It is an essential read for those studying religious history, social and cultural studies, or the impact of non-traditional belief systems on modern social structures.
