As the year 2000 approaches there is a noticeable growth of cults and cultic material but carefully reasoned responses to their errors are harder to come by. Eryl Davies' latest book (an updated and revised edition of a previous work) will be a valuable resource.
In it, he painstakingly describes most of the major cults and Christian deviations and then presents the reader with carefully worked material showing how their tenets deviate from Biblical norms. He covers a very broad range of ideologies from Christian deviations (like modernism) through to anti-Christian movements (such as spiritism) in a style that is pleasant to read and consistently informative, albeit a little a little adversarial at times. Some readers may balk at the presence of the Roman Catholic church in a book about cults but Davies defends their inclusion on the basis that unity is being sought at the expense of Biblical truth.
For each -ism or cult he places their statements and the claims of Bible study side by side on the page, thus making the book a valuable reference document. It also contains an excellent broad-sweep summary of Christian doctrine - indeed if you are looking for material for a solid course on Christian basics you need look no further.
This book is the distilled result of 20 years careful research - and it shows!
