Innovated in sociology by Max Weber, the idea of charisma or charismatic authority is becoming increasingly important to the sociology of religion, in part because leadership in proliferating (and sometimes highly controversial) new religious movements (NRMs) "has almost wholly assumed a personal charismatic form" (Bird 1993:76).
Institutionalized charisma is also represented by charisma of office, which pertains to beliefs that certain officeholders, by virtue of occupying a sacred office (e.g., priesthood), acquire certain special powers or qualities.
Thus, failure to effectively institutionalize the charisma of the founding prophet led to intensifying factionalism and ultimately to lethal violence in the Hare Krishna movement (Rochford 1985; Huber and Gruson 1987).

 Review: Steven Barnes's Charisma, reviewed by Greg Beatty
Charisma, his most recent novel, raises his thrillers to another level of complexity, and offers in the process Barnes's most direct commentary on all of these subjects.
I don't want to spoil any of Charisma's mysteries for the reader, who should be allowed to enjoy them for himself, but there is a lot that can be said about the novel without tipping Barnes's hand.
Charisma is a thriller that will have readers turning pages to see what happens next, and an intelligent novel that tackles important issues as it tells a great story.

Charisma was screened in the "Directors Fortnight" section of the 1999 Cannes Film Festival and as a part of the director's spotlight at the 1999 Toronto International Film Festival.
As bad as is his recently released-to-DVD "Séance," CHARISMA is equally good--strange but consistently interesting, as its plot expands to include everything from cops handling hostage negotiations to alien greenery, the environment at large and the apocalypse.
But actually Charisma is more akin to a contemporaneous film by Shohei Imamura, Warm Water under a Red Bridge, than to the horror films with which Kurosawa is otherwise associated.

 Midnight Eye review: Charisma (1999, director: Kiyoshi KUROSAWA)
Masquerading as a detective film, Charisma emerges to be a highly metaphoric, thematically rich piece of cinema.
In fact, in many ways Charisma plays and feels like a sequel to his 1997 festival hit and international breakthrough film Cure.
In Charisma, Yakusho's cop is like an older, more disillusioned version of his Cure character - a man who has nothing left to lose and who wanders through the world with a sense of detachment that makes him impervious to the troubles that human beings have to cope with in daily life.
