Cults and Sects

New religious movements, world-wide, present a very real challenge to Christianity. They are growing apace. Currently, they comprise 2.2% of the world population, some 96,000,000, and studies indicate that by the year 2000 they will have as many followers as the Eastern Orthodox Churches. At the same time there is a need to help those who are troubled by false teaching to understand what the Bible actually teaches. Truth under attack meets the need by providing a comprehensive and practical guide to churches, cults and movements. Each chapter contains useful background information followed by a handy reference guide to specific doctrines of the sect and how these conflict with the Word of God. At a time when there is much confusion over the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, coupled with a proliferation of new religious movements and cults, some professing to be Christian, others not, Dr. Eryl Davies has produced an updated edition of his popular title, Truth under attack, which was first published in 1990. In this three-volume work he provides an introduction to, and overview of, the contemporary Western cult scene from a biblical perspective, offering many helpful details and warnings about their teachings, and showing how they conflict with the Word of God. It includes many new sects and provides updated information on those dealt with in previous editions.
