Christianity, Cults and Religions

This pamphlet gives clear, easy to understand comparisons between different religions and cults. It's not an in-depth treaty, but rather highlights major areas of difference. I keep several on hand in my office and find them excellent to give to people confused about how Christianity compares and differs from other religions and cults.

This is an excellent pamphlet to understand the main points of the Bible and other religions/cults. I've had one myself for several years and just got the updated version for a family member trying to understand the difference between a relationship with Jesus and 'religion'. It's definitely a go-to resource!

I gave this book four stars because I've always been curious about religons faiths and how they were formed. This book provides a synopsis of the origins and development of many different faiths. It adequately cover the big three (Christianity, Islam,and Judisim) in clear,concise and simple terms. In addition, it offers background information on cults and other religous orders. The only thing that disappointed me some what was that the descriptions were short and lacked detail. However, it serves well as a starter for understanding the fundelmental differences in their beliefs. I would probably recommend this offering to my friends and family.It's an interesting fast read.

Pros/Cons: I appreciated this brief, but comprehensive summary of so many different religions, but I think it should have included the Catholic religion also as they also put priests & their Pope in the rightful place of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Scriptures clearly state that no man should be called Father other than God, and that's just one of the doctrines that are not what Jesus said. No idols, no statues of the Trinity, much less of the Virgin Mary or other human saints deserve to be glorified over Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is a person, not a mystical force. Baptism of both water and the Holy Spirit should always be acknowledged and sought for along with the Gifts and Healing that Jesus gave us when He said "It is finished." All Christian Believers know that Jesus came in the flesh, died for our sins, and rose from the dead. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul are witnesses to this and warned about the false prophets that were already in the world during their time. All Believers are both the Church and saints of God, so none should be prayed to instead of Jesus as He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can be saved or know God other than through his only begotten son. It's only through God's Grace and supernatural love that any are saved from sin, and the wages of death. This was so none could boast that their good works alone saved them. Praise God for that! I was surprised that this wasn't in a book, instead it came in a fold-out style quality form that had six of these in one small plastic wrap! I guess this is to provide other seekers with a summary of 20 world religions. Great bargain for the money!

Great for giveaway! I used this to educate new Christians in a mental health facility that had strict restrictions on book build. This made a perfect solution. Durable.

Just what I was looking for great layout. †

This is a great update to the perfect source for info on cults and other questionable religions as compared to Christianity. Solid true and valid information!

The author does a nice job of describing, very succinctly, the views of several well-known branches of modern Christianity and several non-Christian traditions in terms of their contrasts with American Evangelical Christianity. This book might make a good reference for those who wish to interact cordially with those outside their own congregations, and does not belittle or judge the traditions reviewed, which I find refreshing. The book is well edited in terms of grammar and typography. The selection of faiths discussed seems peculiar. A now fairly obscure para-Christian wedding cult gets an entry, but Catholicism doesn't. Ba'hai is covered, but not Taoism - despite being referenced. Some of the description of Wicca is of questionable veracity, but again, the author doesn't seem to be on a crusade to demonize the pagans, so I can tolerate incompleteness or inaccuracy in a free book. If you're a Christian and always will be, but want a short book to help you distinguish the traditions Christian Scientists from Seventh Day Adventists, and Muslims from Sikhs, this book is a worthy starting point.

It gave a lot of information in a well condensed way. It is very easy to compare Cults one side and Religions on the other with what Christianity believes. Besides the layout being very well designed, the small individual pictures which relate to the Cult or Religion gave that extra bit of information.

Eye opener indeed Well put together and good quality

Im using this item for Bible classes to teach the kids the basic tenents of the worlds religions. the only one it doesnt address is the roman catholic church! but you can find out details on the falsehoods of that one online easily. especially the verses of exodus and leviticus re worshipping idols etc. my husband liked it so much he insisted i order more copies which i have done.

The author provides the reader with enough information for a very basic understanding of other religions. This is what makes it worthwhile but also limited in what it provides. Good beginning to gaining some concise knowledge of other religions in comparison to Christianity.

This pamphlet is very professionally done; glossy paper; information well displayed. Very easy to show in small classes. I am glad to have it in my library.
