      abstract = {This book examines the tensions between Jehovah's  Witnesses and government authorities, civic organisations,  established churches and the broader public generated by  the Watch Tower Society's teachings. Witnesses originated  in the 1870s as small, loose-knit groups calling themselves  Bible Students. Today, there are some eight million  Witnesses worldwide, all actively engaged in evangelism.  The author analyses issues that have brought them global  visibility and even notoriety, including political  neutrality, public ministry, blood transfusion, and  anti-ecumenism. It also explores anti-Witness campaigns,  from media portrayals of the community as marginal and  exotic to the anti-cult movement. Focusing on varied  historical, ideological and national contexts, the book  argues that Witnesses have had a defining influence on  conceptions of religious tolerance in the modern world.},
