Description

Explore the academic evolution of New Religious Movement (NRM) studies with this Routledge publication. This book examines the tension between the 1970s anticult movement and the sociological research that emerged during the same period. While the media often presented a distorted image of NRMs as harmful cults, scholars began building a new field of study to understand these groups through historical and sociological lenses. This text provides a necessary counter-perspective to popular misconceptions. It explains how academics moved away from hysterical interpretations to view NRMs as legitimate religions deserving of the same freedoms as established faiths. For students and researchers in anthropology and sociology, this work offers a clear look at how the study of new religions has developed over time. By analyzing the shift from public perception to scholarly interpretation, readers gain a better understanding of the history and legitimacy of these religious movements.
