Religions frequently face a period of turmoil and readjustment following the death of their founders. In this contribution to sociological theory, Barrett offers a new typological model for categorizing various outcomes, including schism, and explores the usefulness of this model by applying it both to his case study the Worldwide Church of God and to a wide variety of other religions.
