"Bednarowski is especially good at elucidating the theological daring of these new American religions.... She demonstrates in a very few pages how... theology and group adherence made the individual count, a configuration simultaneously American, un-American, and important." ―Jon Butler "The cultural confrontation with these 'new religions' is very real and usually very misinformed. Bednarowski has gone to great lengths to dispel the ignorance." ―The Christian Century "A groundbreaking study." ―Syzygy: Journal of Alternative Religion and Culture Organized as a series of theological conversations about ultimate questions, this book offers a guide to the answers these six religions offer. Drawing heavily on sources from the movements themselves, it presents a balanced comparative account of the emerging theological systems of America's new religions.
