Encyclopedic in form, popular in style, Larson's Book of Cults analyzes dozens of prominent cults from historical, sociological, and theological perspectives. It will tell you what you want to know, tracing for you cultic roots in major world religious systems, pointing out to you both a cult's appeal and its folly, and explaining clearly major cult concepts such as enlightenment, reincarnation, and meditation.

Most important, author Bob Larson details precisely how each cult deviates from Christian truth.

Parents, students, pastors, and people of all walks of life will find Larson's Book of Cults to be an indispensable, reliable research tool. But don't be surprised if you wind up reading it, straight through, fascinated, amazed, and shocked by the world of cults.
