Scientology:
Theology & Practice
of a Contemporary Religion

Scientology: Theology and Practice of a Contemporary Religion is a new book which fully explains the doctrines of the Scientology religion and the activities of those who adhere to them.

To place the religious principles of Scientology in context, the book begins with an analysis and explanation of what religion really is — providing a workable, complete and authoritative definition which incorporates the fundamental characteristics common to all great faiths. This initial chapter is based on the conclusions of the world’s foremost religious authorities as well as international law.

From this reference point, the book provides a detailed description of all fundamental aspects of Scientology, including the ecclesiastic structure of the Church of Scientology, its services and ceremonies and the many social and community activities it sponsors internationally.

In demand since the day it was published, the book is also fast becoming a fundamental text for teaching the subject of religion.

Complimentary copies are available to scholars, public and private libraries, religious leaders, government officials and members of the news media by writing to Publications Department, Church of Scientology International, 6331 Hollywood Blvd. Suite 1200, Los Angeles, California 90028 or E-mailing to editor@freedommag.org.
