The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin



























Inside the Front Cover

Since the first edition was published in 1965, Walter Martin's The Kingdom of the Cults has been the leading reference work on the major contemporary cult systems. With an emphasis on the active, proselytizing cults, The Kingdom of the Cults is a crucial tool in counter-cult ministry and evangelism.

Inside the Back Cover

Walter Martin is a world-renowned expert on cults and the founder of the Christian Research Institute. He was the original Bible Answer Man, host of the popular syndicated call-in show heard around the country. He held four earned degrees, having received his doctorate from California Coast University in the field of Comparative Religions. Walter Martin is also the author of a dozen books, a half dozen booklets and many articles.

From the Back Cover

In an era of rapid cult growth world-wide, Christians today more than ever need the trustworthy information contained in The Kingdom of the Cults. This comprehensive edition equips readers from every walk of life to use biblical truth to counter the efforts of cults who masquerade as main-stream Christians.

The Grand Poo-Bah says

The Word of Faith / Faith Movement had twenty-two pages devoted to it in the 1997 version of this book. The Grand Poo-Bah was very fortunate to have this version of the book fall into his hands a few years ago. It was the last available copy at my local Christian bookstore and I was told by the vendor that there would be no more copies of this version available in the future. The current version no longer contains this section. In order to read the majority of this now missing information on the Faith Movement, you need to refer to the Archived Blogs between Sat. June 7, 2008 and Wed. June 25, 2008.
