Book Description:
James R. Lewis has written the first book to deal explicitly with the issue of how emerging religions legitimate themselves. The legitimacy that new religions seek in the public realm is primarily that of social acceptance. Through a series of wide ranging case studies, Lewis explores legitimation strategies as well as the tactics that critics use to de legitimate such groups. Cases include the Raelian Movement, Native American prophet religions, spiritualism, the Church of Christ Scientist, Scientology, Church of Satan, Heaven s Gate, Unitarianism, Hindu reform movements, and Soka Gakkai, a new Buddhist sect.
