James R Lewis
R854 Discovery Miles 8 540 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

A major, perhaps the major, focus of early research on New Religious Movements (NRMs) was on the people who joined. Most of the field's pioneer researchers were sociologists. However, the profile of NRM members had changed substantially by the twenty-first century - changes largely missed because the great majority of current NRM specialists are not quantitatively oriented. Sects & Stats aims to overturn the conventional wisdom by drawing on current quantitative data from two sources: questionnaire research on select NRMs and relevant national census data collected by Anglophone countries. Sects & Stats also makes a strong argument for the use of longitudinal methods in studying alternative religions. Additionally, through case studies drawn from the author's own research projects over the years, readers will be brought into a conversation about some of the issues involved in how to conduct such research.

The Formation of Candomble - Vodun History and Ritual in Brazil (Paperback): Luis Nicolau Pares The Formation of Candomble - Vodun History and Ritual in Brazil (Paperback)
Luis Nicolau Pares
R1,268 Discovery Miles 12 680 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Interweaving three centuries of transatlantic religious and social history with historical and present-day ethnography, Luis Nicolau Pares traces the formation of Candomble, one of the most influential African-derived religious forms in the African diaspora, with practitioners today centered in Brazil but also living in Europe and elsewhere in the Americas. Originally published in Brazil and not available in English, The Formation of Candomble reveals cultural changes that have occurred in religious practices within Africa, as well as those caused by the displacement of enslaved Africans in the Americas. Departing from the common assumption that Candomble originated in the Yoruba orixa (orisha) worship, Pares highlights the critical role of the vodun religious practices in its formation process. Vodun traditions were brought by enslaved Africans of Dahomean origin, known as the Jeje nation in Brazil since the early eighteenth century. The book concludes with Pares's account of present-day Jeje temples in Bahia, which serves as the first written record of the oral traditions and ritual of this particular nation of Candomble.

Satan, the Devil, Lucifer, the Evil One... Pick the name and they all refer to the same thing, or person, or being, or whatever the Devil is supposed to be. Feared, worshipped or dismissed, the Devil remains a presence in our world. But who is he? Is evil an essence, an objective reality? Does Satan rule the world? Is there an absolute evil set against absolute good, generating all other evils? Is Satan roaming the earth "seeking whom he may devour?" What is Satanism? Who are the true worshippers of Satan? Does demonic possession exist? Were the witches executed during the Middle Ages really worshippers of Satan? Have people really killed in the name of Satan? The works of the Devil are an amazing complex and often frightening puzzle that has been worked on by theologians, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists for centuries. The puzzle has never been truly solved but in this chilling occult book by author Troy Taylor, he'll be taking the readers on a roller coaster ride into the horror of the belief in - and works of - the Devil. From a biography of Lucifer to the history of Hell itself, the book includes black mass and devil worship, black magic, necromancy, sorcerers, witchcraft, evil spirits, demonic possession, the Nazis and the Occult, Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey, Satanic murders and much more The Devil has been with us since the beginning of recorded time. Today, we believe that we have shed the superstitions of pagan times, but this book will shatter that illusion. Our rational age of science and reason is marked by a staggering number of tales of supernatural events, horrific discoveries and nameless horrors that all have their roots in antiquity - and all of which can be traced to our belief in the Devil and his evil works. You may think you've read frightening books by Troy Taylor before, but we promise that this will be the scariest book you'll read this year

The Children of God - There is Life After the Cult (Paperback): M DIV Faye Thomas The Children of God - There is Life After the Cult (Paperback)
M DIV Faye Thomas
R412 Discovery Miles 4 120 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This is the remarkable story of a young woman's harrowing experience in a religious sect and how she overcame the devastating effects that sought to take control of her life. August, 1977, Faye Thomas was the fortunate recipient of a full scholarship to study abroad in Madrid, Spain. Anticipating the opportunity to soak up the culture and pursue her studies, Faye was unprepared for the two years of manipulation and mind control forced upon her and dozens of other women caught in the deceptive and destructive web of the Children of God. Today, many young adults will be introduced to religious cults. Cult members approach their victim by highlighting the supposed attributes of their organization, such as communal living, shared financial responsibilities and the freedom to dedicate one's life one hundred per cent to God by dropping out of school or society. Written from personal experience, this book will empower ex-cult members as they work to rebuild their life while educating the Christian believer to have a greater awareness of the signs of cultic activity within a religious organization. Compelling, informative, and thoughtfully written, The Children of God is a must read for anyone in need of a guiding light. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/FayeThomas

All things would include matter and Michael the Archangel. One cannot believe in a false god or a false Jesus and have true salvation.

Mormon Crisis - Anatomy of a Failing Religion (Paperback, New): James A Beverley Mormon Crisis - Anatomy of a Failing Religion (Paperback, New)
James A Beverley; Foreword by Sandra Tanner
R514 Discovery Miles 5 140 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Mitt Romney's run for President of the United States created enormous interest in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In spite of enormous media focus during the so-called Mormon Moment, coverage was often shallow and misleading, even from the LDS Church. Few reporters dug deep enough to deal with the evidence that the Mormon Church is in a deep crisis, not only because of members leaving but because of increasing proof of lies, fraud, false teaching, and criminality at the start of Mormonism. James Beverley tells the Mormon story as few can. He has studied Mormonism for over 35 years and has consulted frequently with other experts on Mormonism, both LDS and outside the LDS Church. His research trips to Utah have included interaction with polygamous Mormons, major LDS scholars, and the Attorney General of the State of Utah. Mormon Crisis deals with major issues about Joseph Smith, the first LDS prophet, provides sustained critique of Mormon Scripture, examines flaws in the LDS understanding of Church leadership, and probes unique doctrines and practices, including the secret temple ceremonies. The book offers a serious indictment of the current LDS belief system but also a way out of the current crisis facing one of Americas most famous and controversial religions.

He soon came to discover however, that things were not as they had first seemed. Following a patch of doubt and subsequent in-depth investigation into the religion, the young man began to realise that the things he had previously accepted without question no longer made sense. His eyes were opened to the various powerful methods that were, and still are being used to control the minds of the faith's followers. The story contained within these pages describes the author's life, from his upbringing as a Jehovah's Witness, his struggles along the way, and the challenges he faced as he tried to break free. His extensive research into the religion's history is also documented, including apparent accounts of questionable teachings and manipulative methodologies.
