Researching New Religious Movements: Responses and Redefinitions
Autor Elisabeth Arwecken Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 dec 2005
Researching New Religious Movements provides a cutting-edge analysis of the controversy around new religions in America and Europe today. Drawing on original fieldwork, it explores the battles between the recruiting factions of groups like the Moonies, and the anti-cult movements and Church societies that have mobilized to oppose these. It considers academic and media interventions on both sides, placing special emphasis on the problems of objectivity inherent in the language of 'sects', 'abduction' and 'brainwashing'. Ideal for students, researchers and professionals, this provocative and much-needed book takes the debate over new religious movements to a newly sophisticated level.

Recenzii
'The most important 'first' that this book achieves is its bold questioning of the whole intellectual apparatus of the sociology of religion as it has been applied to the understand of the new religious movements. I am confident that Elisabeth Arweck's study will quickly become required reading in the sociology of new religious movements.' - Professor David Martin, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, London School of Ecomonics, University of London, UK
'Powerful and original ... it succeeds triumphantly in being at the same time an important, high-quality academic study and a book for our times.' - Professor David Marsland, Professorial Research Fellow in Sociology, University of Buckingham
