Chryssides (religious studies, U. of Wolverhampton, England) presents this resource volume of new religious movements (NRMs) dating from the mid-1700s to 2000. Included are entries for approximately 400 religions--and separate entries for many of the founders--from throughout the world. The author focuses on origins, beliefs and practices, and seeks to convey a sense that each of the NRMs contain a definite train of thought and internal coherence. c. Book News Inc.
