On March
26, 1997,
the bodies of
39
men and women
were found in an opulent mansion outside San Diego,
all victims of a mass suicide. Messages left by the
Heaven s Gate group indicate that they believed they
were stepping out of their physical containers in order
to ascend to a UFO that was arriving in the wake of
the Hale-Bopp comet. The Heaven s Gate suicides were
part of a series of major incidents involving New
Religions in the
1990s,
as the new millennium
approached. Despite the major attention that Heaven s
Gate attracted at the time of the suicides, there have
been relatively few scholarly studies. This anthology
on Heaven s Gate includes a combination of articles
previously published in academic journals, some
new writings from experts in the field, and some
original Heaven s Gate documents. All the material is
expertly brought together under the editorship of
George D. Chryssides.
George D. Chryssides is Research Fellow in
Contemporary Religion at the University of Birmingham.
He has written extensively on new religious movements:
his books include The Advent of Sun Myung Moon
(1991 ),
Exploring New Religions
(1999),
Historical Dictionary of
New Religious Movements
(2001)
and A Reader in New
Religious Movements (with Margaret Z. Wilkins,
2006).
He has contributed to numerous academic journals
and edited collections.
