About the Author:
Review:
James T. Richardson is Professor of Sociology and Judicial Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he directs the Master of Judicial Studies Degree Program. He does research in sociology of religion (on new religions or “cults”) and social psychology of law. He has co-authored several books, along with many articles in professional journals.
“Because the ‘Jesus Movement’ has received scant attention for a number of years, it will probably come as a surprise to some that far from having died out, it is becoming an established, well-institutionalized component in American society. . . . [This] book is a study of one of the communal groups that has been a part of this social movement. . . . The result of over six years of research, this book is easily the most thorough and balanced study of any of the ‘youth culture’ religious groups coming out of the late 1960s. In addition to presenting an interesting array of substantive information, the authors also present penetrating analyses utilizing a number of important theoretical paradigms and concepts. . . . [This] book is on the cutting edge of major issues in the sociology of religion, organizations and institutions, and social movements. Scholars interested in these areas and particularly those concerned with communes and ‘new religious movements’ will not want to overlook it.”
—L. Norman Skonovd, Contemporary Sociology
