| Summary: | Nowadays with the rise of social and economic developments of China and the closer international exchanges, problems of new religions have emerged. They have become a cultural phenomenon concerned by the whole society. Moreover, it is an important issue any government has to face. This thesis reviews the research work on new religions in Chinese academics from three aspects: (1) a classification of related concepts; (2) the emergence of new religions; and (3) how to understand and deal with the problems, attempting to distinguish theoretically "new religions" from "cults". Thus, the paper tries to provide conceptual suggestions to academics and governments. |
