Description

Explore the complex history of the Order of the Solar Temple with this scholarly work from the Routledge New Religions series. In October 1994, the deaths of fifty-three members in Switzerland and Quebec changed the landscape of religious studies and influenced public policy regarding non-traditional religions across Europe. This book provides a necessary look at a subject that has seen very few English-language studies. It brings together high-quality scholarship to examine the events and the subsequent controversies that followed. By combining newly commissioned pieces from leading experts with a selection of existing research, this volume offers a deep look into the social and religious implications of the group's actions. Whether you are a student of anthropology, sociology, or religious history, this text serves as a vital resource for understanding the impact of the Solar Temple on modern society and the legal discussions surrounding new religious movements.
