Book Reviews of What The Cults Believe
Book Review: Understanding the Cults...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you would like to understand different perspectives from groups that adapt the title Christian, but do not hold to the historic doctrines of the faith, then this is a good book for you. This book was published by Moody Press and the late Irvine Robertson once taught at Moody Bible Institute. Robertson wrote this book from an evangelical perspective and right from the beginning of the book he provides the reader with an understanding of what places different belief systems in the kingdom of the cults. He does this by first explaining, "Major doctrines of the orthodox faith" and then launches into "Cult deviations from major orthodox doctrines."
Robertson divides his book into the following chapters,
1. Mormons
2. Jehovah's Witnesses
3. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church
4. Herbert W. Armstrong's World Wide Church of God
5. The Way International
6. Some Hindu-based Movements...
7. The New Age Movement
8. Scientology
9. Spiritualism
10. Other Current Movements
Robertson does a nice job of first presenting an overview of the group, followed by a historical overview and then goes into the major beliefs of each movement. The book is geared toward helping the reader gain an understanding of each movement. Robertson wrote this one from more of an informative perspective than an apologetics perspective.
This book will provide you with a fast overview regarding many cult/occult movements in 202 pages. If you were looking for something that provides a stronger apologetic, then I would recommend the time tested evangelical book on cults titled, "The Kingdom of the Cults" by Walter Martin.
