Pocket Dictionary of New Religious Movements: Over 400 Groups, Individuals & Ideas Clearly & Concisely Defined

Studying new religious movements can be like trying to learn several languages at once, each with its own vocabualry, grammar and syntax. The flourishing variety of these movements today makes the task even more difficult. This book is designed to be an indispensable companion for students of religion and a fascinating guide for curious and perplexed observers of the religious scene. Among its approxiamtely 450 definitions are: specific groups, from the Aetherius Society to the Zion Christian Church; practices, from the Alexander technique to Yoga; UFO religion, from alien abductions to Uarius Academy of Science; symbols, from the ankh to yin-yang; religious texts, from the apocryphal New Tesatment to the Vinaya-Pitaka; and religious leaders, from George Adamski to Rabbi Zalman. Reference books on religion tend to be too large, expensive and unwieldy for those who want quick information. Here is a handy and affordable "help key" that will answer your questions about new religious movements.
