CONFRONTING THE CULTS
CORDON R. LEWIS
"At the dawn of the twentieth century," writes the author, "the cults were indistinguishable as a tiny atom, but exploding like atomic bombs the cults have mushroomed upon the American religious horizon." Defining a cult as "a religious group which claims authorization by Christ and the Bible but neglects or distorts the gospel," the author then discusses Jehovah's Witnesses, Latter-day Saints, adherents of Christian Science, Seventh-day Adventists, students of Unity, and Spiritualists. The doctrines of each are measured against orthodox Christian views of Scripture, the gospel, Christ's person, redemption, Christ's resurrection, and salvation by faith alone. Confronting the Cults is just what Christian layman need who find themselves confronted by members of cults. Questions and teaching hints at the end of each chapter make this a self-contained tool for group discussions.
