In this cross-cultural volume Catherine Wessinger reveals three patterns relating to millennial groups involved in violence that are not mutually exclusive: assaulted millennial groups that are attacked by outsiders who fear and misunderstand the religion, fragile millennial groups that initiate violence to preserve the religious goal, and revolutionary millennial groups possessing an ideology that sanctions violence.
