Description
They're very sincere... and such lovely people. I was attracted by their warmth and love."
This is not a description of a Christian church, but of one of those strange cults you meet on the streets. Moonies, Hare Krishna, Children of God, TM, Scientology, Divine Light, Worldwide Church of God. What do they believe? Ought I to stop and talk?
Maurice Burrell helps us to understand these seven modern sects and what attracts people to them. And he encourages Christians to meet each of them with the real good news of Jesus Christ.
Canon Dr Maurice C Burrell has researched, written and spoken on religious sects for about twenty-five years and with J Stafford Wright he is author of an earlier IVP book on the cults, Some modern faiths. His present position as Director of Education for the Diocese of Norwich involves him in Christian education in its widest sense. Married with a family, Canon Burrell enjoys all kinds of sport, especially hockey.
