Summary, etc. Recent decades have seen an apparent increase in the number and<br/>vitality of new religious movements throughout the world. They have also<br/>been marked by evident social conflict over the activities of 'cults'.<br/>These developments have been met by growing interest among social<br/>scientists in the significance of new religious movements and a<br/>proliferation of research into their activities and their social impact.<br/>In this wide-ranging survey Thomas Robbins assesses the state of the art<br/>in sociological and related work on new religious movements.<br/>Concentrating on research on movements in the USA and Western<br/>Europe, he analyses theories relating the growth of new religions to<br/>sociocultural changes, the dynamics of conversion to and defection from<br/>movements, patterns of organization and institutionalization, and social<br/>controversies over cults. He also examines the impact of the study of<br/>new and deviant movements on the sociology of religion in general, and<br/>the implications of recent spiritual ferment for previous models of<br/>secularization and sect-church theory.<br/>The book concludes with a comprehensive bibliography.<br/>This text will be essential reading for all students and researchers in the<br/>sociology of religion and in religious studies.
