The Kingdom of the Cults

Author: Walter Martin (edited by Ravi Zacharias)
Publisher: Minneapolis: Bethany House Publishers, 2003. 648 pages.
Category: Wisdom, Church

Synopsis: Walter Martin’s book illuminates the history, leadership, and core teachings of various cults and religious systems. He also provides an explanation on what a cult is as well as how one can communicate the gospel effectively to a person in a given cult.

Value: Religions are not all the same and many so-called “Christian” religions are definitely not Christian in the biblical sense of the term. Men of God should train themselves to know the differences so that errant teaching does not infect the hearts of those who are under their responsibility. Far from a “feel good” book, this resource will prove informative twenty years from now.
