Christopher PartridgeReseñas

New Religions A Guide by Christopher Partridge is a compilation of over 200 religious entries that ranges from “Christian Science and the Jehovah’s Witnesses to Soka Gakki, Wicca, and Falun Gong.” These accounts are marked by “an unprecedented growth of new religious movements, sects, and alternative spiritualities.”
Each movement is classified, and organized in categories in the various religious traditions. Entries spell out the history, beliefs, practices, and their present-day characteristics. These descriptions are all documented and written by religious and international experts. And this volume provides a wide array of religious and spiritual options available to readers on a quest to learn more about these new faith traditions. Relevant pictures of founders, adherents, and religious symbols also grace this edition.

A Catholic look at the modern fundamentalist movements in several religions. It's a knock off of a big study on fundamentalism from Chicago.½
