The Order of the Solar Temple: The Temple of Death

Might be of interest to some of you here. It's an academic text, from 2006. I haven't read it yet, but I'm just starting now.

In October 1994, fifty-three members of the Order of the Solar Temple in Switzerland and Quebec were murdered or committed suicide. This incident and two later group suicides in subsequent years played a pivotal role in inflaming the cult controversy in Europe, influencing the public to support harsher actions against non-traditional religions. Despite the importance of the Order of the Solar Temple, there are relatively few studies published in English. This book brings together the best scholarship on the Solar Temple including newly commissioned pieces from leading scholars, a selection of Solar Temple documents, and important previously published articles newly edited for inclusion within this book. This is the first book-length study of the Order of the Solar Temple to be published in English.


(Incidentally, you might want to bookmark that site. Lots of high quality academic texts, on virtually every subject. It's a great resource, if you have the time).[/quote]
