This book, first published in 1990, brings together descriptive,
comparative, and theoretical materials on cults and sects in
Western culture, focusing on literature published since 1970. A
historical section links the rise of the new movements to similar
past phenomena in Western culture. Other sections examine the
methodology of studying religious movements and the various
theories which have been brought to explain them, current studies
on traditional sects that are sometimes compared to the new
religions, and many studies of individual contemporary cults.
