A Guide to New Religious Movements

by Ronald M. Enroth (Editor)

Today's society is filled with alternatives and options, and the choices for religious commitment have never been more numerous. But many Christians are unclear on how new religious movements differ from traditional Christian faith. Sociologist Ronald Enroth and a team of expert contributors provide an accessible handle on the key religious movements of our day, from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the Jehovah's Witnesses to contemporary versions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. They assess what each movement believes, why these movements are appealing to so many, and how Christians can respond to alternative religions with the grace of truth.

This is one of the best books I have read on the topic, and I've read quite a few. The chapters were informative, yet accessible to even those with little knowledge about particular religions. The last chapter is about evaluating new religious movements and what Christians can do to learn more and take evangelistic action.
