Were most cults and new religions simply passing fads of the late-twentieth century, or are some of them still growing today? What new sects have emerged, and what dangers do they present? How should Christians respond? Author Ron Rhodes, award-winning author, speaker, and apologist, having done extensive research on 40 cults and new religions, will speak to the dangers they present, common terms that have different meanings, and effective ways Christians can respond. He will encourage your audience to study Scripture so that they are not fooled by counterfeit religions. Rhodes will give the theological definition of a cult, "a religious group that derives from a parent religion, but denies one or more essential doctrines of that parent religion." Chronicling their origins and beliefs, the book lives up to its title by providing an easily accessible resource on cultic activity.
