Secrecy

Viac o knihe

Exploring the theme of religious secrecy, the book examines six distinct modalities through historical examples. It begins with Scottish Rite Freemasonry and progresses through the Theosophical Society, the mystical practices of Maria de Naglowska, the Five Percenters, and modern white supremacist movements, culminating with the Church of Scientology. Each case highlights how secrecy functions as a dynamic and evolving process. Drawing on decades of reflection, the work offers a compelling analysis of a complex and persistent topic in religious studies.
