Revisionism and Diversification in New Religious Movements. Eileen Barker

This book explores different ways in which as NRMs develop stagnate fade away or abruptly cease to exist certain orthodoxies and practices have for one reason or another been dropped or radically altered. As part of the Ashgate Inform Series this book approaches its topic from a wide range of perspectives. Contributors include academics current and former members of NRMs and members of 'cult-watching' movements.
