On March 26, 1997, the bodies of 39 men and women were found in an
opulent mansion outside San Diego, all victims of a mass suicide.
Messages left by the Heaven's Gate group indicate that they
believed they were stepping out of their 'physical containers' in
order to ascend to a UFO that was arriving in the wake of the
Hale-Bopp comet. The Heaven's Gate suicides were part of a series
of major incidents involving New Religions in the 1990s, as the new
millennium approached. Despite the major attention that Heaven's
Gate attracted at the time of the suicides, there have been
relatively few scholarly studies. This anthology on Heaven's Gate
includes a combination of articles previously published in academic
journals, some new writings from experts in the field, and some
original Heaven's Gate documents. All the material is expertly
brought together under the editorship of George D. Chryssides.
