Rather than being ephemeral fads, new religious movements (NRMs)
have always been and will always be with us. So will their study.
Offering an assessment of the state-of-the-field of the study of
NRMs, Visioning New and Minority Religions begins by considering
the analytical tools for the study of new or minority religions,
drawing on the perspectives of diverse academic disciplines. The
second part focuses on individual groups in a variety of
geographical settings. Chapters in this section review the
histories of particular groups in order to extrapolate future
developments. They cover new religions that have persisted well
past the first generation, such as the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and the Christian Scientists, and groups with
comparatively shorter histories, such as various forms of
contemporary Paganism, Soka Gakkai, and the Diamond Way Buddhist
group. This volume will be of interest to scholars from across
religious studies and sociology, as well as members of new and
minority religious groups and those in "cult watching" groups.
