'Cult Wars' in Historical Perspective provides a broad
characterization of the shifting religious contours over the past
several decades. Offering an assessment of several important topics
in the study of new religions, this book explores developments in
well-known groups such as the Unification movement, The Family
International (Children of God), the International Society for
Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and the Church of Scientology.
Bringing together both insiders and outsiders from various academic
disciplines and personal perspectives, this book takes account of
the ways in which the cult question is defined and addressed in
different countries. It offers a vivid depiction of how the cult
wars or cult controversies of the late twentieth and early
twenty-first centuries first took shape; the transformation of
deeply entrenched positions on cults and sects as at least some
members of new groups, cult watchers, and academics entered into
serious and sustained conversations about topics of mutual concern;
the shifting foci and concerns of the general public, law
enforcement and the courts, and academics in various countries; and
the complex histories of individual groups in which many dramatic
transformations have occurred despite their comparatively short
life spans.
