520 |a The following pages will undertake a critique of the academic enterprise as it manifests in the study of new religious movements, although itis also, by implication, simultaneously a critique of secular scholarship more generally. My objections to new religion scholarship can be condensed to the observation that most of the literature in the field-whatever its other merits-frequently has the effect of increasing the sense of thealienness and the otherness of alternative religious groups (thus inadvertently reinforcing rather than undermining popular "cult" stereotypes). Conversely, I want to make the case for a humanistic style of scholarship which, at least as a preliminary move, attempts to give one access to thelifeworld and to the deeper intentionality of the new religions.
