Perspectives on New Religious Movements

About the Author John A. Saliba is Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Detroit Mercy, USA. Product Description This book provides a dispassionate analysis of new religious movements, charting their growth and examining them from a variety of perspectives – sociological, psychological, legal and theological. Saliba then questions whether or not membership harms those who join these new movements and assesses the charge that they 'brainwash' their adherents.
