This book provides evidence that the emergence of Asian new
religious movements (NRMs) was predominantly the result of
anti-colonial ideology from local religious groups or individuals.
The contributors argue that when traditional religions were
powerless to maintain their cultural heritage, the leadership of
NRMs adduced alternative principles, and the new teachings of each
NRM attracted the local people enough for them to change their
beliefs. The contributors argue that, as a whole, the Asian new
religious movements overall were very ardent and progressive in
transmitting their new ideologies. The varied viewpoints in this
volume attest to the consistent development of Asian NRMs from
domestic and international dimensions by replacing old, traditional
religions.
