Controversial New Religions de James R. Lewis
Highly recommend the author's works on new religions, nrm's and cults. He has wrtten several.
Really useful resource, but is lacking in a lot of different cults and new religious movements. Also, the Index is organized terrible and doesn't include people's names.
I read this years ago so this will be a short review. Different categories of themes are matched up based on dream features. They are in short paragraph form. Some interesting enough illustrations accompany the text.
Good that SUNY focused seriously on NeoPaganism and Witchcraft, but the reliability of the contributors is uneven. No one is analytical or critical of Aidan Kelly, and Paganism is clearly second to anthropology.One gets the impression that it is easier to study Pagans here at home, rather than traveling abroad to some remote area to study tribal peoples.It allows one to cast a jaundiced eye on other anthropological field work, if this what they do to us, and we speak the same language!
