Comprehending Cults: The Sociology of New Religious Movements
by Lorne L. DawsonComprehending Cults, Second Edition, provides a sociological interpretation of the phenomenon of new religious movements.

Offering up-to-date social science research about contemporary religious cults, Comprehending Cults, Second Edition, is ideal for undergraduate sociology of religion and new religious movements courses.
