Mystics and Messiahs: Cults and New Religions in American History
Jenkins, Philip (Distinguished Professor of History and Religious Studies, Distinguished Professor of History and Religious Studies, Pennsylvania State University)
This work gives an account of cults and anti-cult scares in American history. Contrary to popular belief, cults were by no means an invention of the 1960s. Most of the images and stereotypes surrounding religious fringe movements can be traced to the 19th century.
