Discussions of any religion can easily raise passions. But
arguments tend to become even more heated when the religion under
discussion is characterized as new. Divisions around the study of
new religious movements (NRMs), or cults, or nontraditional or
alternative or emergent religions are so acute that there is even
controversy over what to call them. John Saliba strives to bring
balance to these discussions by offering perspectives on new
religions from different academic perspectives: history,
psychology, sociology, law, theology, and counseling. This approach
provides rich descriptions of a broad range of movements while
demonstrating how the differing aims of the disciplines can create
much of the controversy around NRMs. The new second edition has
been updated and revised throughout and includes a new foreword by
noted historian of religion, J. Gordon Melton. For classes in
religion or the social sciences, or for interested individuals,
Understanding New Religious Movements offers the most objective
introduction possible.
