Cults and New Faiths

Description

The Moonies, the Children of God, Jim Jones's People's Temeple- the mushrooming of new faiths and cults over the last few years has been spectacular.

But many people are unaware of what these cults- and the more established groups such as Baha'i, or Christian Science- are all about. What do they teach? What does it all mean to be a follower? What is their appeal?

This highly-illustrated book gives a clear introduction to 19 of today's new faiths- their origins, their leaders, their effects.--Book Flap
