Sects, Cults and New Religions: Critical Concepts in Sociology
Editat de Carole Cusack, Danielle Kirbyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2013
Religious Studies, which at the time was still in the process of establishing itself as a legitimate discipline distinct from Theology and traditional Biblical Studies, was only too happy to leave NRMs to Sociology. This situation gradually changed, however, so that at present at least as many scholars of NRMs come from Religious Studies backgrounds as come from the social sciences.
The collection consists of four volumes which together provide a one-stop source for crucial information on—and theoretical/methodological approaches to—contemporary New Religions. The set brings together thinking on a wide variety of themes associated with NRMs (e.g. apocalypticism, typologies, conversion, gender) and major works on the NRMs that have attracted the most scholarly attention (e.g. the ‘Moonies’, The Family International, Osho Rajneesh). Some influential ‘anti-cult’ articles (normally not considered part of mainstream scholarship) have also been included as well.
Sects, Cults, and New Religions is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, and is destined to be valued as a vital research resource.

Descriere
New Religious Movements (NRMs) came into being as a distinct subfield of academic study in the 1970s in response to the explosion of non-traditional religions. These movements, and those termed ‘sects’ and ‘cults’, initially attracted the attention of sociologists of religion because of the controversy that arose in response to their expansion. The collection consists of four volumes of mostly reprinted articles and book chapters on NRMs that provides a single source for basic information on – and theoretical/methodological approaches to – contemporary New Religions. It includes discussions of a wide variety of themes associated with NRMs (e.g., apocalypticism, typologies, conversion, women and New Religions) and chapters on the NRMs that have attracted the most scholarly attention. Contents have been selected bearing in mind certain criteria: solid scholarship, range of empirical subject matter and theoretical perspectives, and range of influential and relatively unknown articles. Some influential ‘anti-cult’ articles (normally not considered part of mainstream scholarship) are included as well.
