Since the first edition was published in 1965, Walter Martin's The Kingdom of the Cults has been the leading
reference work on the major contemporary cult systems. With an emphasis on the currently active, proselytizing
cults, The Kingdom of the Cults continues to be a crucial tool in countercult ministry and evangelism.
While remaining true to Walter Martin's original tone and text, this updated edition includes substantial new information.
Relevant and accurate materials have been reintroduced from the original editions, preserving Dr. Martin's unique
voice and defense of the faith.
Scholarly yet readable and engaging, The Kingdom of the Cults evaluates each cult's history and beliefs, contrasting
individual teachings with true biblical theology. Readers will find apologetics help in dealing with cults not
only at home but also overseas.
