Philosophical explorations of new and alternative religious movements

This book is the first collection of philosophical essays, by a team of international authors, focusing on new and alternative religious movements. The book begins with an examination of the definition of new religious movements, before offering an introduction to, and an analysis of, core beliefs held by particular movements. Contributors offer an analysis of one or more of the core tenets of the religious movement, providing readers with both an insight into the group and the methodology of philosophy of religion.
