The Sociology of Religious Movements - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

As denominations that have become too wordly are replaced by more spiritually rich denominations, there is a growth in religious revivals and innovations like televangelism and megachurches. Explaining religious schism, innovation, and conversion to show how religion and society transform each other, this book explores such movements as Holiness, Adventism, religious communes, Children of God, Satanism, New York City Mission Society, New Age, Asian imports, and democratization. It is the culmination of work that started in "The Future of Religion" and "A Theory of Religion".
