Description

This book provides a dispassionate analysis of new religious movements, charting their growth and examining them from a variety of perspectives - sociological, psychological, legal and theological. Saliba then questions whether or not membership harms those who join these new movements and assesses the charge that they 'brainwash' their adherents.
