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.

John A. Saliba is Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Detroit Mercy, USA.
