Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review (ASRR)

The Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review publishes articles, reviews and review essays in the new religious movement (NRM) field. From Scientology to Falun Gong; Western Esoterism to neo-Shamanism; from popular religion in Japan to new religions in Korea, this journal aims for comprehensive coverage of the field. It includes studies of new movements within traditional religions, such as the Charismatic movement in Christianity, Guru movements in Hinduism, so-called Xie Jiao in China, and millenarian movements in indigenous societies. Additionally, the ASRR examines quasi-religious phenomena, including implicit religion, yoga, qigong, UFO societies, and spiritual healing. The journal is published biannually by Academic Publishing, Inc. The Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review (ASRR) is a bi-annual, online journal hosted by Philosophy Documentation Center. ASRR was created by James R. Lewis with the ambitious goal of providing NRM scholars with a vehicle for staying up-to-date with new publications in this exploding field. Now 15 years in, we continue to publish articles, book reviews and review essays in the new religious movement (NRM) field. From Scientology to Falun Gong; Western Esoterism to the Lubavitch in France; from popular religion in Russia to Burning Man, we have Alternative sprituality and religion covered. See our Table of Contents for more by clicking on the individual issues to the left. For the purpose of reviewing books in ASRR, 'new religions' is defined broadly to include the diverse subfields that have developed out of NRM studies, including - but not restricted to - Pagan Studies, Studies of Western Esotericism, New Age Studies, Modern Satanism, Masonic Studies, and Studies of New Thought. ASRR also reviews studies of new movements within traditional religions, such as the Charismatic movement in Christianity, Guru movements in Hinduism, and new religious movements in indigenous societies.
