Beskrivelse af Modern Religious Cults And Movements
Modern Religious Cults and Movements is a comprehensive exploration of various religious movements and cults that have emerged in the modern world. Written by Gaius Glenn Atkins, a renowned scholar of religion, this book delves into the history, beliefs, and practices of a wide range of groups, from the relatively benign to the highly controversial.Atkins provides an in-depth analysis of each movement, examining its origins, key figures, and core tenets. He also explores the social and cultural factors that have contributed to the rise of these groups, and considers the impact they have had on society as a whole.Among the movements covered in this book are Scientology, the Unification Church, the Children of God, the Hare Krishnas, and the Church of Satan. Atkins also discusses lesser-known groups such as the Raelians, the Order of the Solar Temple, and the Heaven's Gate cult.Throughout the book, Atkins maintains an objective and scholarly tone, presenting the facts about each movement without passing judgment. He also provides a critical analysis of the ways in which these groups have been perceived and portrayed by the media and society at large.Whether you are a student of religion, a researcher, or simply someone interested in learning more about the diverse religious landscape of the modern world, Modern Religious Cults and Movements is an essential resource.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
