Sects, Cults, and Spiritual Communities

"Most such books are about sociology with illustrations from life. This book is wonderful different. It is about life with illustrations from sociology." William M. Wentworth. Department of Sociology, Clemson University - "The study of sects, cults, and spiritual communities has grown in recent years - but that literature still remains relatively small. Those looking for a volume that explores a variety of such groups may find those described and discussed in this volume to be particularly interesting." Felix M. Berardo. Department of Sociology, University of Florida - "Dr. Bill Zellner has cultivated a genuine ability to focus the lens of the "sociological imagination" on the study of sects, cults, and spiritual communities. Should be must reading for classes in General Sociology, Social Problems, Social Movements, and Culture." Richard P. Rettig. University of Central Oklahoma
