Hugh B Urban Secrecy: Religion Hardcover sku-898054921

In Secrecy: Silence, Power, and Religion, Hugh B Urban examines secrecy in religion against a backdrop of political secrecy and the use of stolen personal data to influence consumer choices and voting. His examples include nineteenth-century Scottish Rite Freemasonry, the sexual magic of a Russian-born Parisian mystic, the white supremacist BrüderSchweigen or Silent Brotherhood movement of the 1980s, the Five Percenters and the Church of Scientology.

The book draws on decades of Urban's reflections on the subject. This is Edition 1 in hardcover, listed under Religion & Religious Studies Books as sku-898054921.
