| Zusammenfassung: | Cambridge Elements in New Religious Movements is a series designed to present up-to-date scholarship on new religious movements in a brief and engaging way. The series focuses on case studies of specific traditions or families of traditions, or on themes prominent in the academic study of new religions. According to the series’ prospectus, the goal is to "go beyond cult stereotypes and popular prejudices" in order to highlight "the differences, as well as the similarities, within [the] great variety of religious expressions" found in contemporary new religious movements. Beyond brevity, the series does not have a set format, but of the first four volumes reviewed, each in its own way does an admirable job fulfilling this mission. |
