Overview

The Encyclopedia of World Religions, Cults and the Occult is designed to be of maximum assistance to those who may know little about the religions and sects that span the globe. It also serves as a comprehensive resource for those who wish to glean more detail about a particular religion or cult group.

Each topic is clearly outlined and easy to find. Handy lists, tables, and comparison charts, such as the Time Line of World Religions, Cults, and Their Founders, and the extensive Glossary make browsing simple for those seeking basic and general information. Those seeking to delve into the minutiae of a particular religion or sect will not be disappointed, either, as each category of world religions, cults, and sects provides a wealth of information.

TheEncyclopedia of World Religions, Cults and the Occultleaves no stone unturned in its examination of false teaching.
