A major, perhaps the major, focus of early research on New
Religious Movements (NRMs) was on the people who joined. Most of
the field's pioneer researchers were sociologists. However, the
profile of NRM members had changed substantially by the
twenty-first century - changes largely missed because the great
majority of current NRM specialists are not quantitatively
oriented. Sects & Stats aims to overturn the conventional
wisdom by drawing on current quantitative data from two sources:
questionnaire research on select NRMs and relevant national census
data collected by Anglophone countries. Sects & Stats also
makes a strong argument for the use of longitudinal methods in
studying alternative religions. Additionally, through case studies
drawn from the author's own research projects over the years,
readers will be brought into a conversation about some of the
issues involved in how to conduct such research.
