The New Believers: A Survey of Sects Cults and Alternative Religions

About this book

"Barrett writes...in an accessible objective and...encyclopedic fashion that makes his work truly stand out."--Library Journal. "This is a fascinating book to read. . .a useful resource. . ."--Booklist. A greatly expanded revised and updated edition of this much-praised topical and best-selling reference. From variations on the major world religions to the Moonies Wicca Scientology and Transcendental Meditation its the best available source book to the off beat and alternative organizations sects and cult movements. The first edition and the paperback version both sold out--and this will prove equally popular.
