This book, first published in 1975, examines how utopian sects seek to establish and promulgate radically distinctive forms of society according to what they claim to be God’s blueprint. Rooted in the sociology of religion, this study presents an analysis of three sects: the Shakers; the Oneida Community; and the Bruderhof.
