Bücher der Reihe Ethnographies of Religion

This book examines the condition of religious organizations or teachings within a different culture where one or more indigenous religions are already present.

The new religious movements (NRMs) of Modern Asia commonly offered a new way of hope for enduring the socio-political situation of colonial life. This volume explores particular cases in relation to the aspects of origin, identity, transnational activity, text, hybrid conditions, religionized politics, geopolitical exchange, and millennialism.
