Method and Theory in the Study of New Religions --$tIndex 330 $aNew Age, Neopagan, and New Religious Movements is the most extensive study to date of modern American alternative spiritual currents. Hugh B. Urban covers a range of emerging religions from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, including the Nation of Islam, Mormonism, Scientology, ISKCON, Wicca, the Church of Satan, Peoples Temple, and the Branch Davidians. This essential text engages students by addressing major theoretical and methodological issues in the study of new religions and is organized to guide students in their learning. Each chapter focuses on one important issue involving a particular faith group, providing readers with examples that illustrate larger issues in the study of religion and American culture. Urban addresses such questions as, Why has there been such a tremendous proliferation of new spiritual forms in the past 150 years, even as our society has become increasingly rational, scientific, technological, and secular? Why has the United States become the heartland for the explosion of new religious movements? How do we deal with complex legal debates, such as the use of peyote by the Native American Church or the practice of plural marriage by some Mormon communities? And how do we navigate issues of religious freedom and privacy in an age of religious violence, terrorism, and government surveillance? 606 $aCults$zUnited States 606 $aSects$zUnited States 606 $aOccultism$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCults 615 0$aSects 615 0$aOccultism 676 $a299/.930973 700 $aUrban$b Hugh B.$01041527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460611403321 996 $aNew age, neopagan, and new religious movements$92466608 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01199nas 2200373-a 450 001 996218768003316 005 20240112213020.0 035 $a(OCoLC)213374661 035 $a(CKB)1000000000284932 035 $a(CONSER)--2008263238 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000284932 100 $a20080313a19899999 sb- - 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAnnual review /$fSupreme Court, New South Wales 210 $aSydney $cSupreme Court, New South Wales 311 $a1321-4586 606 $aCourts$zAustralia$zNew South Wales$vPeriodicals 606 $aJudicial statistics$zAustralia$zNew South Wales$vPeriodicals 606 $aCourts$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00881747 606 $aJudicial statistics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00984738 607 $aNew South Wales$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39QbtfRxyTrqTTmJqcc4YRQCp 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aCourts 615 0$aJudicial statistics 615 7$aCourts. 615 7$aJudicial statistics. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996218768003316 996 $aAnnual Review$91926758 997 $aUNISA
