Why the Prophet is a Puzzle
Sex and Conflict in New Religious Movements
Efforts to introduce unorthodox sexual and marital practices have often caused dissension in new religious movements. The nineteenth-century Oneida Perfectionist and Mormon communities highlight the profound impact such practices may have on group cohesion and development. Conflicts over the introduction of complex marriage almost led John Humphrey Noyes' Oneida Community to disband in 1852, yet the group survived and prospered for another quarte…

The Morality of Pluralism
Subjects and/or Objects
Both Jean Fagan Yellin's Women and Sisters and Lawrence Foster's Women, Family, and Utopia deal with nineteenth-century women and community: sisters in Yellin's case, members of communal experiments in Foster's. In some respects, the women who populate Foster's work react in a different manner to the same pressures that drove Yellin's women to seek change through revolutionary activity. Yellin's mostly white abolitionist feminists equated their c…
Women, Family, and Utopia
An examination of women's roles, family relationships, and sexuality in three unorthodox 19th-century communal experiments, with analysis of the implications such systems may have for present-day Americans concerned with the sense of crisis in family life and sex roles

Strong Relativism Revisited
In a challenging paper written with enviable clarity, Chris SwoyerI argues against a strong relativist thesis according to which something can be true in one framework but false in another. He defends as possible, however, a weaker relativism according to which something could be true in one framework but inexpressible and hence neither true nor false in another. There is much in the paper that illuminates various aspects of relativism, but his m…

John Humphrey Noyes and the Oneida Community which he founded in central New York state in the mid-nineteenth century have been the subject of intense controversy and widely varying interpretations during the past century and a quarter. As one of the very few examples in human history of a long-lived system of group marriage (somewhat misleadingly described both by Noyes and his critics as free love), the Oneida experiment has understandably prov…

James J. Strang
The founders of successful religious and social movements have received much attention from popular and scholarly writers. Would-be prophets who failed, on the other hand, generally have been ignored, except for a few sensational cases such as those of Sabbatai Sevi, the Jewish messianic pretender of the seventeenth century, or Jim Jones, whose charismatic leadership of a group suicide in Guyana shocked the nation and the world. Yet although reli…
