This title was first published in 2002. Drawing on primary research
on the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, a millenarian New
Religious Movement of Indian origin, this book examines the status
of tradition in the contemporary world through a critical
engagement with the recent social theory of Anthony Giddens on the
emergence of a post-traditional society. Wallis examines both the
ways in which forms of tradition not only persist but also flourish
in the contemporary world and also the manner in which such
traditions are drawn on and (re)created by individuals in their
ongoing construction of self-identity. Illuminating some of the
difficulties encountered when social theory is applied to 'the real
world', this book also offers a way of theorising about the status
of contemporary religiosity that does not refer directly to the
notion of secularisation.
