New Religious Movements

This book is about the New Religious Movements, which emerged not only in Africa, but also in the whole world. It profiles some of the New Religious Movements phenomena through the scholars' debates and surveys them to give an overarching picture about the development of the New Religious Movements. In this regard, the book has taken a scholarly approach in bringing this subject across to both readers and students of Bible Schools and Theological Colleges.

It does this by primarily focusing on the developments of New Religious Movements into religions that broke away from the mainline churches that brought Christianity to the world and Africa in particular. The book has shown that New Religious Movements is a global phenomenon by doing a comparative study of their spiritual, political and religious causes for breaking away from their original religious affiliations.Finally, the book discusses the future of New Religious Movements and their Mission Churches.
