The relationship between new religious movements (NRMs) and
violence has long been a topic of intense public interest--an
interest heavily fueled by multiple incidents of mass violence
involving certain groups. Some of these incidents have made
international headlines. When New Religious Movements make the
news, it's usually because of some violent episode. Some of the
most famous NRMs are known much more for the violent way they came
to an end than for anything else. Violence and New Religious
Movements offers a comprehensive examination of violence by-and
against-new religious movements. The book begins with theoretical
essays on the relationship between violence and NRMs and then moves
on to examine particular groups. There are essays on the "Big
Five"--the most well-known cases of violent incidents involving
NRMs: Jonestown, Waco, Solar Temple, the Aum Shunrikyo subway
attack, and the Heaven's Gate suicides. But the book also provides
a richer survey by examining a host of lesser-known groups. This
volume is the culmination of decades of research by scholars of New
Religious Movements.
