The Reader s Review
"This is an important book for libraries with holdings in
American religion." Choice
..". a fascinating narrative... a rich feast for the
investigator of the subculture of esoteric religion... " American
Studies International
..". especially welcome. It offers an in-depth, meticulously
documented history of a church, the Holy Order of MANS, that arose
from the Christian esoteric mystery tradition and then
metamorphosed into a traditionalist Orthodox Christian sect. This
unlikely tale has more twists and turns than a whodunit... this
volume is that rarest of finds: an academic book that is a delight
to read." Gnosis Magazine
Traces the journey of a new religious movement from its start as
a monastic-style New Age order to its transformation into the more
conventional Christ the Savior Brotherhood, an Eastern Orthodox
sect. A remarkable story of social and spiritual change in
contemporary America."
