Fair Game: Secrecy, Security, and the Church of Scientology in Cold War America — Journal of the American Academy of Religion
Type: Research
Author(s): Hugh B. Urban
Source: Journal of the American Academy of Religion
Hugh B. Urban is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the Department of Comparative Studies, Ohio State University, 431 Hagerty Hall, Columbus, OH 43210. From Tom Cruise’s wedding to South Park’s scathing cartoon parody, the Church of Scientology has emerged as one of the wealthiest, most powerful but also most controversial new religious movements of the last fifty years.
