Encyclopedia of New Religious Movements

"The marked global approach and comprehensiveness of the encyclopedia enable an appreciation of the innovative energy of NRMs, of their extraordinary diversity, and the often surprising ways in which they can propagate geographically. The most ambitious publication of its sort, the Encyclopedia of New Religious Movements is a major addition to the reference literature for students and researchers in the field of religious studies and the social sciences. Entries are cross-referenced, many with short bibliographies for further reading. There is a full index."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
