Sects, Cults, and Spiritual Communities : A Sociological Analysis PDF
by Petrowsky Marc Petrowsky, Zellner William W. Zellner
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.
