This volume offers a scholarly, dispassionate look at those groups that have generated the most controversy. The groups covered are: The Family, Unification Church, People's Temple, Branch Davidians, ISKCON (Hare Krishnas), Osho Rajneesh, Soka Gakkai, Aum Shunrikyo, Falun Gong, Aumism, Scientology, Theosophy, Order of the Solar Temple, Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, Heaven's Gate, Raelians, White Racist Religions, and Modern Satanism. Each essay provides not only an overview of the history and beliefs of each organization or movement, but also analysis that makes an original contribution to the field. |
