L. Ron Hubbard--best-selling science fiction writer, former naval
officer, and people's philosopher--did not initially intend to
found a new religion. But neither did he object when followers
organized a church based on his teachings. The resulting movement
has attracted millions of adherents from around the globe.
Much of Scientology applies common sense solutions to life's
perplexities. If a church should be judged according to its good
works, then Scientology receives high marks for its addiction
treatment, literacy, and civil rights programs. But there is more,
including mysticism, mythology, some secrecy, and a healthy dose of
what might be termed eccentricity. Some observers wonder how a
church that promotes mental and emotional well being, which it
does, can itself at times appear to be paranoid or dysfunctional?
Dr. Melton explores these questions and the major aspects of the
church's hierarchical structure and theology, showing, among other
things, that the study of religion is seldom dull.
