Although religious innovation in America has historically been the
norm rather than the exception, mainstream Americans have often
viewed new religious movements with suspicion and occasionally with
outright alarm. The question motivating many studies of new
religious movements has been "why would someone join these
religions?" In Antiquity and Social Reform, Dawn Hutchinson offers
at least one answer to this often repeated query. She argues that
followers of new religious movements in the 1960s-1980s,
specifically the Unification Church, Feminist Wicca and the Nation
of Yahweh, considered these religions to be legitimate because they
offered members a personal religious experience, a connection to an
ancient tradition, and agency in improving their world. Utilizing
an historical approach, Antiquity and Social Reform considers the
conversion narratives of adherents and primary literature of the
formative years of these movements, which demonstrates that the
religious experiences of the adherents, and a resonance with the
goals of these religions, propelled members into social action.
