Cults examines the history and current status of cults across the
United States, Europe, and East Asia. Focusing on the principal
controversial religions and movements that have attracted major
media attention, the book also includes profiles of hundreds of
minority religions, from Jesus People and Rastafarians to voodoo
practitioners and the human-cloning Raelians. All the issues
central to the practice and the fear of cults are examined -
apocalypticism, deprogramming, social isolation, cults and the
media, the use and threat of violence, child custody, libel, tax
evasion, solicitation, and the techniques of persuasion and
conviction - as are the many charismatic cult leaders. Cults
presents a comprehensive and authoritative reference, offering a
balanced view of the controversy surrounding these new religious
movements, assessing the movements themselves as well as the legal
and governmental responses to them, including attempts to quantify
membership.
