{"product_id":"new-religious-movements-a-documentary-reader","title":"New Religious Movements: A Documentary Reader","description":"An original collection of primary documents conveying the wide array of ideas connected to new religious movements\n\nNew Religious Movements is a highly unique volume, bringing together primary documents conveying the words and ideas of a wide array of new religious movements (NRMs), and offering a first-hand look into their belief systems.\n\nArranged by the editors according to a new typology, the text allows readers to consider NRMS along five interrelated pathways―from those that offer new perceptions of existence or new personal identities, to those that center on relationships within family-like units, to those movements that highlight the need for recasting the social order or anticipate the dawn of a new age.\n\nThe volume includes original documents from groups such as the Unification Church, Theosophy, Branch Davidians, Wicca, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Santeria, and Seventh Day Adventists, as well as many others. Each section is prefaced by a contextual introduction and concludes with a list of sources for further reading. New Religious Movements offers a rare inside look into the worldviews of alternative religious traditions.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0814707033\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0814707033.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Daschke, Dereck|Ashcraft, Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
