Minority religions are often subject to the same revisions, diversifications and schisms as other major world religions. This book examines how even relatively young religious traditions can and do experience radical changes in belief and practice.   Using scholarly analysis from academics alongside personal testimonies from members of these religions, this collection of essays examines a broad array of different expressions of religion from a wide variety of locations. As such, it gives readers a critical insight into the way that minority religions develop and alter in the face of both internal and external pressures.   This book will be of considerable interest to Religious Studies and Theology academics with an interest in minority religions and cults. It will also serve as a useful reference to anyone studying the history, sociology and psychology of New Religious Movements.
