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.

Very valuable work!!!

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!

A MUST HAVE RESOURCE!!

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!

"one cannot recognize error unless one first understands truth"

"Clearly Christians must take the cultic threat seriously and learn to defend Christianity in the face of the onslaught. This book will help you accomplish that goal."

Clear and concise, with references to the proper use of the Greek words that are manipulated by these religions. The book is divided into the Old and New Testament books, then the misinterpreted passage is discussed: how the cult has interpreted it, then the correction. Many more could be added, and at times can be repetitive. Contains a lengthy bibliography.

Who are considered cults: Jehovah's Witness, Mormons, Christian Science, Masons, Islam, Hinduism, New Age, Pentecostals, and yes, the Roman Catholics, and many more. Cults are growing and the dogmas stay entrenched----the church is failing in its teaching. These religions practice eisegesis (putting their words into passages), or reading into a scripture passage to fit their view, or not using the full passage; let scripture interpret scripture, and this will solve the problem.

We as Christians are beholden to go out to others and grow spiritually, but "one cannot recognize error unless one first understands truth".

All religions don't profess the truth to the way to God; if any religion works because they believe in a god, then we are left to human intellect to decide: the Christ is but a myth and the truth is skewed. Highly recommended for continued growth and knowledge.

Wish you well
