This volume examines radical transformations undergone by a variety of minority religions, including the Children of God\/ Family International; Gnosticism; Jediism; various manifestations of Paganism; LGBT Muslim groups; the Plymouth Brethren; Santa Muerte; and Satanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with other books in the Routledge\/Inform series, the contributors approach the subject from a wide range of perspectives: professional scholars include legal experts and sociologists specialising in new religious movements, but there are also chapters from those who have experienced a personal involvement. The volume is divided into four thematic parts that focus on different impetuses for radical change: interactions with society, technology and institutions, efforts at legitimation, and new revelations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a useful source of information for social scientists, historians, theologians and other scholars with an interest in social change, minority religions and 'cults'. It will also be of interest to a wider readership including lawyers, journalists, theologians and members of the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beth Singler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415786703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415786706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Beth Singler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086654189823,"sku":"9780415786706","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eff1b941-1316-4b75-b3b6-a71f5133de0a.jpg?v=1769095839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/radical-transformations-in-minority-religions-beth-singler-9780415786706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
