Abstract

[The quantitative data that New Religious Movements (NRMs) researchers have gathered on the size and composition of alternative religions is surprisingly meager, despite the fact that hundreds of studies of NRMs have been published every year for the past several decades. Unfortunately, research on new religions, overwhelmingly armchair sociology, has often been based on analyses of texts (in the ordinary language sense of text), although there have been some very fine studies based on fieldwork research. In any case, as a field, the study of NRMs has a significantly inadequate quantitative empirical base.]
