An original collection of primary documents conveying the wide array of ideas connected to new religious movementsNew Religious Movements is a highly unique volume, bringing together primary documents conveying the words and ideas of a wide array of new religious movements (NRMs), and offering a first-hand look into their belief systems.Arranged by the editors according to a new typology, the text allows readers to consider NRMS along five interrelated pathwaysfrom those that offer new perceptions of existence or new personal identities, to those that center on relationships within family-like units, to those movements that highlight the need for recasting the social order or anticipate the dawn of a new age.The volume includes original documents from groups such as the Unification Church, Theosophy, Branch Davidians, Wicca, Jehovahs Witnesses, Santeria, and Seventh Day Adventists, as well as many others. Each section is prefaced by a contextual introduction and concludes with a list of sources for further reading. New Religious Movements offers a rare inside look into the worldviews of alternative religious traditions.
