Item Description...
Overview
"Cults and new religions are exploding in unprecedented proportions on the American horizon."
Why do so many flock to these perversions of Christianity? And how can we reason with them to help them see that Jesus is the only way to eternal life?
In Correcting the Cults, Norman L. Geisler and Ron Rhodes identify and respond to the misuse of Scripture by adherents of various religions seeking validation for their own particular doctrines. After a thorough introduction on understanding the nature and character of cults, they proceed through the Bible book by book, highlighting prominent texts that have been taken out of context and misinterpreted.
"Clearly, Christians must take the cultic threat seriously and learn to defend Christianity in the face of the onslaught," write the authors. This comprehensive and accessible resource will lead you into a deeper understanding of authentic Christianity and enable you to help and witness to those who have been swayed by the influence of the cults and new religions that are so prominent on the American scene.
Publishers Description
Cults like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the New Age movement are ensnaring people by the millions. Why do so many flock to these perversions of Christianity? And how can we reason with them to help them see that Jesus is the only way to eternal life? Correcting the Cults is designed to help the reader do just that. After a thorough introduction on understanding the nature and characteristics of cults, the authors take the reader through the Bible, examining Scripture passages that cult adherents traditionally misinterpret to support and validate their own doctrines.This comprehensive, accessible, and intelligent resource is an important tool for pastors, students, and anyone who knows a cult member or someone considering a cult. |

 | A MUST HAVE RESOURCE!! Jul 10, 2006 |
As a preacher and an apologetics grad student I must say this book is incredible. It carries the same format as geisler previous effort of proper interpretation (When Critics ask),and is easily put to use.
This book provides an explanation of the most widely misued verses by cultist, and cultic groups today. ANY student of the Bible NEEDS THIS BOOK AS PART OF THEIR PERSONAL LIBRARY! | | | | Very valuable work!!! Aug 23, 2005 |
Buy this book for your reference, 'cause it is very useful! Good, good, good book
:D
well, If you familiar with Geisler Works, such as "When Skeptics ask" or "When critics ask", then you won't be surprized with format of this book. It takes Bible verses, over which confusion happens in various cults and clarifies original meaning of the passage by Biblical exegesis. Most, if not all, confusions happen due to misinterpretation, and pride of self-sufficiency :D ...when teacher doesn't evaluate context and does eisegesis instead of exegesis... which is very popular thing to do nowadays ;) !!!
I think this book must be present on EVERY Bible teacher's shelf to avoid mistakes of interpretation. Don't invent (square)wheel again, 'cause it won't work anyways. What can be worst than teaching others wrong doctrines???? This must be taken seriously!!!
God bless, and examine yourself teachers! | | | Write your own review about Correcting the Cults: Expert Responses to Their Scripture Twisting
