All religions undergo continuous change, but minority religions
tend to be less anchored in their ways than mainstream, traditional
religions. This volume examines radical transformations undergone
by a variety of minority religions, including the Children of God/
Family International; Gnosticism; Jediism; various manifestations
of Paganism; LGBT Muslim groups; the Plymouth Brethren; Santa
Muerte; and Satanism. As with other books in the Routledge/Inform
series, the contributors approach the subject from a wide range of
perspectives: professional scholars include legal experts and
sociologists specialising in new religious movements, but there are
also chapters from those who have experienced a personal
involvement. The volume is divided into four thematic parts that
focus on different impetuses for radical change: interactions with
society, technology and institutions, efforts at legitimation, and
new revelations. This book will be a useful source of information
for social scientists, historians, theologians and other scholars
with an interest in social change, minority religions and 'cults'.
It will also be of interest to a wider readership including
lawyers, journalists, theologians and members of the general
public.
