The Order of the Solar Temple: The Temple of Death de James R. Lewis

The Order of the Solar Temple: The Temple of Death: Routledge New Religions

Editat de James R. Lewis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2006
In October 1994, fifty-three members of the Order of the Solar Temple in Switzerland and Québec were murdered or committed suicide. This incident and two later group suicides in subsequent years played a pivotal role in inflaming the cult controversy in Europe, influencing the public to support harsher actions against non-traditional religions. Despite the importance of the Order of the Solar Temple, there are relatively few studies published in English. This book brings together the best scholarship on the Solar Temple including newly commissioned pieces from leading scholars, a selection of Solar Temple documents, and important previously published articles newly edited for inclusion within this book. This is the first book-length study of the Order of the Solar Temple to be published in English.

Recenzii

’This book is useful not only for giving the reader a multi-faceted view of this ’enigma’, but it provides any researcher reading it with an extremely useful typology of neo-Templarism as a movement. It not only explains the possible reasons for the turn towards death on behalf of the leaders of the OST, but it illuminates the past and present of a wider movement of which we have certainly not heard the end.’ Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review ’This volume is useful to scholars of NRMs and to members of the public who are interested in non-partisan, sensible and accessible treatments of controversial subjects within the study of religion.’ Bulletin for the British Association for the Study of Religions
