About the book

Stimulated by travel, mass media, and education, individuals have spent the twentieth century questioning organized religion and, as the end of the millennium approaches, many are turning to spirituality rooted in ancient practice, but modernized by secular experience.

In this volume, an international group of authors survey the religious and spiritual movements growing in popularity in Western Europe. They include theosophy, transcendental meditation, the Rosicrucians, Mormonism, the occult (including Satanism and Wicca), Jehovah's Witnesses, the Unification Church, Scientology, the Hare Krishna, and the Baha'i, among others.
