Viewing the world with abhorrence, members of utopian sects isolate
themselves from its influence. As this book, first published in
1975, shows, they seek to establish and promulgate radically
distinctive forms of society according to what they claim to be
God's blueprint and which they believe are destined by his
intervention and their example to spread throughout the world.
Rooted in the sociology of religion and more particularly in the
concepts of sectarianism and communitarianism, this study presents
an analysis of three sects: the Shakers; the Oneida Community; and
the Bruderhof. The author examines the origins, religious
conceptions, social structure and composition, modes of social
control, and development of each group; and in a concluding chapter
he discusses the utopian sect as a distinctive social form.
