Cults (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780737739954)

This volume explores the topics relating to cults, usually referring to a new religious movement or other group whose beliefs or practices are considered non-traditional or unorthodox. It presents varied expert opinions that examine many of the different aspects that comprise this topic. The viewpoints are selected from a wide range of sources and publications, which allows the reader to activate higher-level critical thinking and reading skills. Across four chapters, readers will examine the true definition of cults, whether they're a serious threat, why people join cults to begin with, and how cult members can be helped. Because this collection contains so many essays, it is also a terrific resource for report-writing and research.
