Book excerpt: When the charismatic founder/leader of a religious movement dies, the popular belief is that the movement usually disintegrates.

In this book, prominent scholars examine what happened to eleven new movements following the deaths of their leaders, and why. An Introduction by J. Gordon Melton serves to integrate the case studies.
