As explained in his introduction, Massimo Introvigne notes this concept was first proposed by American sociologist, Donald Westbrook, in his 2020 article for Religion Compass—a concept that recognizes the substantial body of work by historians, sociologists and legal experts on this 70-year old religion. As each of the five contributors point out, Scientology has sparked controversy ever since its beginnings in the 1950s in the United States. Today, as a well-known international, relatively new religious movement, it is still routinely referred to as a cult in articles and television shows generated by the mass media. Scientology’s apostates are lionized while their complaints and criticisms are broadcast. Against this backdrop of controversy (genuine or concocted), five scholars embark on an exploration of this unique spiritual movement. They accomplish several tasks. First, they provide the reader...

In the COVID 19 pandemic context, however, such spiritual intimacy has been challenged if not compromised. New Age practitioners have faced the necessity to become ritually and spiritually innovative and establish new forms of sacred spaces to accommodate their performances. Drawing on long-term fieldwork on the theme of New Age spirituality and healing in Lisbon, Portugal, and Athens, Greece, this article offers an account of how New Age spiritual creativity was performed in the context of the pandemic, while exploring how different yet intertwined sacred spaces are created, and the role that (auto)ethnographic embodiment and research knowledge plays in this process.","PeriodicalId":44149,"journal":{"name":"Nova Religio-Journal of Alternative and Emergent Religions","volume":"19 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This book is two things. The first hundred and fifty pages are a narrative survey of the history of Black people in Utah, and by extension, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It begins when members of the church settled in Utah in 1847 until 1862, when in the storm of the Civil War, Congress abolished slavery in Utah and the other territories of the United States. The second part is an exhaustive and painstaking accounting of everything Thiriot, an independent historian, genealogist, and researcher, could locate about Black people in Utah in those years, organized as a genealogical encyclopedia. Each entry explains what is known about the person and offers citations to the sources wherein they are documented. There are also a few addendums about enslavers and Black residents of Utah whose stories have been consistently misrepresented. This...

The veteran journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle’s religion beat engages these two trends to ask the following questions: “How does the psychedelic revival fit into the larger story of American religion” (x), why do few people in the PR connect entheogenic experiences to their own religious traditions, and what can “mainstream churches and synagogues” (xi) and “entheogenic explorers” (xi) learn from each other? To address these questions, Lattin explores historical precedent for and contemporary manifestations of entheogenic activism over seven overlapping chapters. The historical analysis begins with William James, the first scholar to argue comprehensively for an association of religion and psychoactive substances....

The Gatherings can be described as temporary intentional communities and transformational events, advocating many central ideals of Western counterculture and alternative-holistic spirituality, inter alia, by employing radical alternatives to market economy, centralized leadership, and religious institutions. These non-commercial and nonviolent Gatherings are fully inclusive and participatory, and before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were dozens of events in Europe annually. The essay depicts how the pandemic and related restrictions were experienced and interpreted among the participants of the 2021 European Rainbow Gathering and describes relevant aspects of the underlying religious and cultural context.

A secondary element, however, examines computer games played in India. Depending on the reader’s goal, this book will seem either informative, inspirational, or incomplete.

Bila Tserkva was a true backwater, one of a cluster of poor, Romanian-speaking villages in an isolated corner of the newly conquered and remote Soviet region of Transcarpathia. Its most distinctive feature was its large population of Jehovah’s Witnesses. In 1949, the state arrested seven men from that community, tried them as dangerous subversives belonging to an underground network aimed at destroying the Soviet Union, and sentenced them to 25 years in prison camps. Baran uses the extensive paper trail of the investigation and trial to explore what the case reveals about state and society: the nature and mechanisms of Sovietization, and how the Witnesses and their fellow villagers navigated the process.

So, what happens to that ethical imperative when work becomes religion? Silicon Valley is what happens, argues Chen, where tech companies have sought to fulfill every level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, including (or especially) religious or spiritual engagement to keep their employees working. As they become the convenient catchall of employees’ needs and wants, these companies also deploy and fundamentally reshape established religious traditions, most notably Buddhism, for their own purposes. Chen, who spent five years in and among Silicon Valley employers and employees, has seen firsthand the totalizing impact of work on all aspects of American life and puts that knowledge to keen use as she explores the religious world of this particular subculture.

K. V. Desikachar), Iyengar Yoga (founded by B. K. S. Iyengar), and Ashtanga Yoga (founded by K. Pattabhi Jois). She demonstrates how the systems’ different “yoga philosophies”—learned within social environments consisting of physical spaces, other practitioners, and teachers rooted in each system—lead to different experiences, understandings, and meanings for each system’s practitioners. Despite their founders’ shared roots as students of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, the three systems diverge from one another in practice, experience, and philosophy of yoga. Ciołkosz examines these divergences and their effects on the creation and understanding of yoga bodies and practice within each system. The book is divided into two primary sections. In the first, Ciołkosz provides an overview of enactive cognition, the idea that cognition develops through interactions with one’s environment and, importantly for her argument, the...
