Description: False Prophets: The Essential Guide to Cults and New Religions takes a practical approach to studying the cults. It does not seek to cover every single cult in full detail but rather focuses attention on twelve of the primary representative cults or categories of cults. This approach has several benefits: (1) it provides a more substantive treatment of the cults covered instead of an abbreviated treatment of many cults, (2) such an approach is more palatable to the reader, (3) it makes good sense to cover the primary cults people are most likely to come into contact with, and (4) understanding the cultic mentality and beliefs as illustrated in these major cults equips the reader to better understand and deal with any of the lesser-known groups he or she may encounter. The book clearly sets forth the history, major doctrines, and Christian response to each of the cults covered.
