New Religious Movements

A Practical Introduction

by Eileen Barker

Published by HMSO soon after Barker founded the information centre INFORM, this book gives balanced, practical guidance on new religions for families, officials and interested readers. It explains how movements recruit, how members live and leave, and how to assess claims made for and against them. A model of fair-minded writing in a controversial field.
