New Religions and the Theological Imagination in America - Paperback
by Mary Farrell Bednarowski (Author)
"Bednarowski is especially good at elucidating the theological daring of these new American religions. . . . [She] demonstrates in a very few pages how . . . theology and group adherence made the individual count, a configuration simultaneously American, un-American, and important." --Jon Butler
"The cultural confrontation with these new religions' is very real and usually very misinformed. Bednarowski has gone to great lengths to dispel the ignorance." --The Christian Century
"A groundbreaking study." --Syzygy: Journal of Alternative Religion and Culture
Organized as a series of theological conversations about ultimate questions, this book offers a guide to the answers these six religions offer. Drawing heavily on sources from the movements themselves, it presents a balanced comparative account of the emerging theological systems of America's new religions.
This book is an introduction to the theological systems of six 'new' religions-Mormonism, Christian Science, Theosophy, the Unification Church, Scientology, and the New Age movement.
MARY FARRELL BEDNAROWSKI is Professor of Religious Studies at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities.
