Many seemingly strange questions on yoga, salvation, religious
pluralism, and so forth have been actively debated among members of
a small but influential group of evangelical apologists known as
the Christian countercult movement. This Element explores the
history of this movement from its origins in the anti-heresy
writings of the early church to its modern development as a
reaction to religious pluralism in North America. It contrasts the
apologetic Christian countercult movement with its secular anticult
counterpart and explains how faith-based opposition both to new
religious movements and to non-Christian religions will only deepen
as religious pluralism increases. It provides a concise
understanding of the two principal goals of Christian countercult
apologetics: support for the evangelization of non-Christian
believers and maintenance for the perceived superiority of the
evangelical Christian worldview.
