To account for their general similarity, Helen Hardacre identifies a common world view uniting the new religions. She uses the example of Kurozumikyo, a Shinto religion founded in rural Japan in 1814, to show how the new religions developed from older religious organizations. Included in the book are a discussion of counseling that portrays the many linked functions of rural churches, an autobiographical life history by a woman minister, and a case study of healing. - Helen Bardacre is Associate Professor of Religion and tasl Asian Studies at Princeton University and the author of Lay Buddhism in Contemporary Japan: Reiyukai Kyodan (Princeton).
