ISBN: 0918954924 ISBN-13: 9780918954923 Publisher: Baylor University Press OUR PRICE: $39.59 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: November 2003 Annotation: New nontraditional religious movements are the most likely groups to offend mainstream culture and the least likely to have representatives in government to ensure that their liberty is protected. These new religious movements are sometimes ostracized and subject to various forms of discrimination. As America becomes increasingly pluralistic, with more and more groups contributing to the nation's religious mosaic, new religious movements may well play an increasing role in the course of religious liberty in America, just as groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses did formerly. This book explores the problems and possibilities posed by new religious movements for religious liberty in America. |
