Living Springs: New Religious Movements in Western Europe is a comprehensive study of the emergence and growth of new religious movements in Western Europe. The author, Olive Wyon, provides an in-depth analysis of the various religious groups that have emerged in the region over the past few decades. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins and beliefs of these movements, their organizational structures, and their impact on society. Wyon begins by examining the historical and cultural context in which these movements emerged, including the decline of traditional religious institutions and the rise of individualism and secularism. She then goes on to explore the various types of new religious movements, from Eastern-inspired groups like Hare Krishna and Transcendental Meditation, to esoteric and mystical groups like the Findhorn Foundation and the Anthroposophical Society. Throughout the book, Wyon provides detailed case studies of individual groups, including their origins, beliefs, practices, and controversies. She also examines the social and political impact of these movements, including their relationships with mainstream society, their role in promoting alternative lifestyles, and their involvement in environmental and social justice issues. Living Springs is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the study of new religious movements, as well as for scholars and researchers in the fields of religious studies, sociology, and anthropology. The book is well-written and accessible, with clear explanations of complex concepts and ideas. Overall, it provides a fascinating and insightful look at the diverse and dynamic world of new religious movements in Western Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
