Recenzii

“This book is a seriously important opening statement to what will hopefully continue as a lengthy and well-informed conversation for both participants of new religions and scholars in religious studies alike. This volume deserves a wide readership and is highly recommended.” (Carole M. Cusack, Nova Religio, Vol. 22 (4), May, 2019)
