Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Mystics And Messiahsthe First Full Account Of Cults And Anticult Scares In American Historyphilip Jenkins Shows That, Contrary To Popular Belief, Cults Were By No Means An Invention Of The 1960S. In Fact, Most Of The Frightening Images And Stereotypes Surrounding Fringe Religious Movements Are Traceable To The Midnineteenth Century When Mormons, Freemasons, And Even Catholics Were Denounced For Supposed Ritualistic Violence, Fraud, And Sexual Depravity. But America Has Also Been The Home Of An Often Hysterical Anticult Backlash. Jenkins Offers An Insightful New Analysis Of Why Cults Arouse Such Fear And Hatred Both In The Secular World And In Mainstream Churches, Many Of Which Were Themselves Originally Regarded As Cults. He Argues That An Accurate Historical Perspective Is Urgently Needed If We Are To Avoid The Kind Of Catastrophic Confrontation That Occurred In Waco Or The Ruinous Prosecution Of Imagined Satanic Cults That Swept The Country In The 1980S.Without Ignoring Genuine Instances Of Aberrant Behavior, Mystics And Messiahs Goes Beyond The Vast Edifice Of Myth, Distortion, And Hype To Reveal The True Characteristics Of Religious Fringe Movements And Why They Inspire Such Fierce Antagonism.
