Editorial Reviews

'A much needed book.' - Irving Hexham, University of Calgary, Canada

'This book should become one of the classic texts in the still relatively new area of study.' - J. Gordon Melton, University of California, USA

'[It is] his approach to contemporary paganism as an outsider, combined with his expertise with the internet and his knowledge of how religious communities interact in general, that makes Cowan's contribution as interesting as it is.' - Nordic Journal of Comparative Religion

'There is no question that Douglas Cowan's contribution to the study of modern paganism on the Internet is significant and valuable. He achieved his goal in removing the hype surrounding this form of religious activity, supplying readers with a clear overview of the phenomenon, new theoretical frameworks and heuristic devices for interpreting the activities, and insight into how the World Wide Web is changing the religious landscape of our wired world.' - Christopher Helland, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada
