Christianity & New Religious Movements- An Introduction to the World’s Newest Faiths

Description

Every major religion has produced hundreds of offshoots- new religious movements that are often culturally accepted and that claim to promote a healthy and happy lifestyle. Yet many Christians know very little about them. This makes it difficult for us to engage with their adherents wisely and well.

Derek Cooper delves into ten of the most historic, most prominent, and most recognizable new religious movements, focusing on ones with members whom readers have a significant chance of meeting. Writing from a confessional yet compassionate Christian perspective, he overviews core elements of these religions and describes effective points of contact for Christians. Whether you’re seeking to engage with certain individuals or simply curious about your diverse spiritual landscape, this book can help.

Derek Cooper is managing director of Thomas Institute, an educational travel company that specializes in learning on location. He has authored fifteen books including Introduction to World Christian History. He has earned a PhD in the history of religion. He runs a You Tube channel called Thomas Institute.
