  • New Religions in Global Perspective
    New Religions in Global Perspective New Religions in Global Perspective is a fresh in-depth account of new religious movements, and of new forms of spirituality from a global vantage point. Ranging from North America and Europe to Japan, Latin America, South Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, this book provides students with a complete introduction to NRMs such as Falun Gong, Aum Shinrikyo, the Brahma Kumaris movement, the Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood, Sufism, the Engaged Buddhist and Neo-Hindu movements, Messianic Judaism, and African diaspora movements including Rastafarianism. Peter Clarke explores the innovative character of new religious movements, charting their cultural significance and global impact, and how various religious traditions are shaping, rather than displacing, each other’s understanding of notions such as transcendence and faith, good and evil, of the meaning, purpose and function of religion, and of religious belonging. In addition to exploring the responses of governments, churches, the media and general public to new religious movements, Clarke examines the reactions to older, increasingly influential religions, such as Buddhism and Islam, in new geographical and cultural contexts. Taking into account the degree of continuity between old and new religions, each chapter contains not only an account of the rise of the NRMs and new forms of spirituality in a particular region, but also an overview of change in the regions’ mainstream religions. Peter Clarke is Professor Emeritus of the History and Sociology of Religion at King’s College, University of London, and a professorial member of the Faculty of Theology, University of Oxford. Among his publications are (with Peter Byrne) Religion Defined and Explained (1993) and Japanese New Religions: In Global Perspective (ed.) (2000).

Large indigenous groups inhabited both the Andean and the Patagonian regions at the time of the Spanish colonization. The influx of Christianity has all but wiped out the indigenous religion of the native peoples of Argentina, but it survives in the more remote areas along the Andes Mountains and along the border with Bolivia and Paraguay. In the last half of the twentieth century, shamans among the Guarani people (Misiones Province) have attained a status as alternative healers, and the sophistication of Guarani religious thought has been recognized by anthropologists. In 1502, Americo Vespucio commande d the first ship of Spanish sailors to arrive at the mouth of the La Plata River. The Spanish first settled Argentina in 1516, and the first Catholic missionaries arrived by 1539. Argentina gained its independence in 1816 after the commercial bourgeois ousted the Spanish Viceroyalty of the River Plate. Most Argentines today are descendants of the European immigrants (mostly from Spain and Italy but also from Russia, Poland, Germany, England, Ireland, France, Portugal, Armenia, Lebanon and Turkey) who arrived between 1870 and 1950.

INTRODUCTION Archaeologists have usually sidestepped the religious practices and beliefs of prehistoric peoples; artifacts that were not obviously functional in terms of everyday life could be classified simply as “ritual,” implying that they were beyond archaeologists” ability to explain or understand. The extraordinary variety of religious expression that anthropologists had documented was more or less ignored by archaeologists. Some archaeologists speculated on religious practice with simplistic hypotheses about magic, shamanism, fertility, or hunting. Generally, archaeologists thought that in the absence of texts they could do little more than recognize the traces of ritual and some of the symbols associated with religious belief. But the problem is fundamentally one

At least two such cases have been alleged, thus far, one in Illinois and the other in Texas.

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America quickly suspended him af- ter he retired, however, and he has been placed under suspension since the summer of 2006 (in Orthodox terms, clerical suspension means pro- hibition of all liturgical, priestly and church administrative matters and Holy Trinity Church in Dallas, functions).

The Challenge of the Sects in Latin America by Francisco Sampedro Nieto, C.M. In Europe and in the United States there is a lot of talk about the great growth of unbelief and materialism. In Latin America there is a similar growth of the sects. The way we talk of these phenomenon is not always adequate or exact. We believe that the problem is that not enough clarity has been given about what the sects are, and that we have mixed "sects" and "sectarianism," "sects" and "fundamentalism," which some authors call "fundamentalist sects." Let us do some analysis.(1) The Problem in Latin America In the 1960s the problem of the sects had not yet become a great concern in Latin America.
