David Christopher Lane is a professor of philosophy and sociology at Mt. San Antonio College who specializes in the study of new religious movements including cults. He is notable for his book The Making of a Spiritual Movement: The Untold Story of Paul Twitchell and Eckankar which exposed the origins of Eckankar and demonstrated the plagiarism of its founder, Paul Twitchell. He is also notable for introducing to a wider audience the teachings of Baba Faqir Chand, the Indian exponent of Surat Shabd Yoga from Hoshiapur. Among writings on Chand, he edited and published a book entitled The Unknowing Sage: Life and Work of Baba Faqir Chand.

Good!

[Carmen · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a really good book. Unbelievably it was first written up as a term paper.

Well researched. Good introduction on how to analyze new religious movements, not just Eckankar

Always wondered what the story was behind these guys... and now I know! Overall, a pretty solid book and a good (and clearly worded) introduction to what exactly "Eck" is.
