Cults and New Religions

“The Challenge of the Cults and New Religions: The Essential Guide to Their History, Their Doctrine, and Our Response” offers an indispensable overview of cults and new religious movements that are prevalent in American neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and even families. Cults are thriving more than ever, making it likely that you have encountered them or know someone involved with one. Do you understand the fundamental differences between Christianity and the beliefs of Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientology, the New Age movement, Hindu-based cults, and other significant groups? Ron Rhodes, a leading authority on cults, draws on his extensive research to provide concise, current information on twelve major cults and new religions, including Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Church of Scientology, and others. This book equips readers with knowledge to recognize and respond to numerous other less-known cults. It includes color photos, indices, a glossary, a bibliography, and continues to offer resources through Rhodes’ website, www.ronrhodes.org, for ongoing education on these critical topics. Essential for anyone concerned about the spiritual and eternal well-being of others, this guide confronts the deceits of false doctrines with the truth of biblical Christianity.
