“Very often sequels are disappointing, but the second edition of Controversial New Religions
offers another round of solid and fascinating scholarship on religions on the brink of—and
sometimes beyond—the mainstream. Introducing a number of younger scholars, this
volume furthermore shows how research into new and emergent religions has become a well-
established and increasingly important field in the academic study of religion. Editors Lewis
and Petersen should be commended for their ongoing contributions to this development.”
— MIKAEL ROTHSTEIN,
Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer of Comparative Religion, University of Southern
Denmark; Visiting Professor, Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania
IN TERMS OF PUBLIC OPINION, new religious movements are considered
controversial for a variety of reasons. Their social organization often runs counter to popu-
lar expectations by experimenting with communal living, alternative leadership roles, unusual
economic dispositions, and new political and ethical values. As a result the general public views
new religions with a mixture of curiosity, amusement, and anxiety, sustained by lavish media
emphasis on oddness and tragedy rather than familiarity and lived experience.
This updated and revised second edition of Controversial New Religions offers a scholarly,
dispassionate look at those groups that have generated the most attention, including some very
well-known classical groups like The Family, Unification Church, Scientology, and Jim Jones’s
People’s Temple; some relative newcomers such as the Kabbalah Centre, the Order of the Solar
Temple, Branch Davidians, Heaven’s Gate, and the Falun Gong; and some interesting cases like
contemporary Satanism, the Raelians, Black nationalism, and various Pagan groups. Each essay
combines an overview of the history and beliefs of each organization or movement with original
and insightful analysis. Presenting decades of scholarly work on new religious movements writ-
ten in an accessible form by established scholars as well as younger experts in the field, this book
will be an invaluable resource for all those who seek a view of new religions that is deeper than
what can be found in sensationalistic media stories.
JAM E S R. L E W I S is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Tromso. He co-

J E S P E R A A . PETERSEN is Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science
and Technology, specializing in Religious Education and Religious Studies. He is the editor of
several anthologies, most recently The DeviVs Party: Satanism in Modernity, with Per Faxneld.
