Description

American society is culturally diverse with a variety of religious denominations, sects, cults, and self-help groups vying for members.

This volume analyzes nine of these groups, chosen both for their intrinsic interest and because they illustrate a variety of sociological concepts.

The groups included in this study are: Heaven's Gate, Jesus People USA, the Love Family, The Farm, Amish Women, Scientology, El Nino Fidencio, Santeria, and Freedom Park.

The contributors are social scientists with first-hand knowledge of the groups they examine.
