Bednarowski

＂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.

MARY FARRELL BEDNAROWSKI is Professor of Religious Studies at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities.
