"Charisma and Myth combines an interdisciplinary examination of
myth with the newest developments in the application of charisma
theory to history and social life.
Through scores of examples ranging from Inuit myth to Christian
theology, from Malinowski to martyrology, Charisma and Myth argues
definitively that the survival of myth systems mirrors the survival
of such charismatic groups as modern street gangs, the Anglo-Saxon
comitatus, or Satan's fallen angels in Paradise Lost. Even the
smallest charismatic group generates its own set of myths, and,
like larger myth systems, depends on continual revolutionary change
- not, as might be expected, on the stability of its myths - to
survive and to achieve longevity.
As this innovative study shows, group leaders must learn first to
foster and then to manage the mild chaos and changing symbols of
their myths. Charisma and Myth challenges myth theorists from the
nineteenth through to the twenty-first century and adds a missing
component to our understanding of how and why myths continue to
grip our imaginations."
