New religious movements such as the Moonies, Jehovah's Witnesses
and Hare Krishnas are now well established in mainstream cultural
consciousness. But responses to these 'cult' groups still tend to
be overwhelmingly negative, characterized by the furious reactions
that they evoke from majority interests. Modern societies need to
learn how best to respond to such movements, and how to interpret
their benefits and dangers. Researching New Religious Movements
provides a cutting-edge analysis of the controversy around new
religions in America and Europe today. Drawing on original
fieldwork, it explores the battles between the recruiting factions
of groups like the Moonies, and the anti-cult movements and Church
societies that have mobilized to oppose these. It considers
academic and media interventions on both sides, placing special
emphasis on the problems of objectivity inherent in the language of
'sects', 'abduction' and 'brainwashing'. Ideal for students,
researchers and professionals, this provocative and much-needed
book takes the debate over new religious movements to a newly
sophisticated level.
