Reviews

This book represents an ideal case-study for surveying contemporary and historical examples of nontraditional religious movements.
*Religious Studies Review*

The essays, articles, editorials, and letters contained in this disturbing book raise a number of pointed questions about the Waco incident—questions that were not resolved by the official investigation.
*Christianity Today*

But this book, happily is not slow journalism, but fast scholarship....the essays here are quite insightful...
*Journal Of Psychology and Theology*

Designed for the general reader, the essays on the religion of the Davidians are especially helpful....
