Reading and Writing Scripture in New Religious Movements

New Bibles and New Revelations

Beschreibung

New religious movements both read the Bible in creative ways and produce their own texts that aspire to scriptural status. From the creation stories in Genesis and the Ten Commandments to the life of Jesus and the apocalypse, they develop their self-understandings through reading and writing scripture.
