A valuable resource for students and general audiences, this book
provides a unique global perspective on the history, beliefs, and
practices of emergent faith communities; new religious traditions;
and religious movements worldwide, from the 19th century to the
present. New Religions: Emerging Faiths and Religious Cultures in
the Modern World provides insightful global perspectives on the
emergent faith communities and new traditions and movements of the
last two centuries. Readers will gain access to the information
necessary to explore the significance, complexities, and challenges
that modern religious traditions have faced throughout their
history and that continue to impact society today. The work
identifies the themes and issues that have often brought new
religions into conflict with the larger societies of which they are
a part. Coverage includes new religious groups that emerged in
America, such as the Seventh-day Adventists, the Latter-day Saints,
and the Jehovah's Witnesses; alternative communities around the
globe that emerged from the major Western and Eastern traditions,
such as Aum Shinrikyo and Al-Qaeda; and marginalized groups that
came to a sudden end, such as the Peoples Temple, Heaven's Gate,
and the Branch Davidians. The entries highlight thematic and
broader issues that run across the individual religious traditions,
and will also help students analyze and assess the common
difficulties faced by emergent religious communities.
