In an era of rapid growth of false religions worldwide, Christians need information they can trust. This comprehensive new edition of the leading book on cults will equip you--no matter your background--to understand and use biblical truth to counter false religions, including many that masquerade as mainstream Christianity. Reflecting the developments in cults and world religions in recent years, this edition, updated by expert Jill Martin Rische (daughter of Walter Martin), gives you the authoritative information you need to know. As our culture becomes less and less outwardly Christian, awareness of the belief systems of those around us has never been more vital. Readable and reliable for everyone, whether you're a teacher, a pastor, or a regular church attender, The Kingdom of the Cults remains the go-to reference book on this crucial topic.

Chaplaincy is a rapidly growing ministry, but one that has been the centre of little theological discussion. Focusing on understanding what chaplaincy is and how it is exercised in different contexts, this book intends to support the work of chaplains by providing a theological examination of their ministry. The chapters in this book discuss how the work of chaplains outside the structures of the Church and yet frequently carried out by ministers authorized by the Church relates to some of the key questions of how the Church understands itself in relation to the world (i.e. institutions and structures that are not part of the church), whether or not the chaplains should engage in converting non-Christians to Christianity, and how chaplaincy is carried out both from within Christianity and in a multi-faith environment. This book explores the role of chaplains and the benefits of chaplaincy as a form of ministry as well as an examination of the personal characteristics and disposition best suited to serving as a chaplain. Chaplaincy and Christian Theology considers the nature of chaplaincy in public spaces and the implications of Christian theology within this ministry. Essential reading for chaplains, students of theology, and anyone involved in Christian ministry and Christian theology.

False religions abound in the US and beyond, and Christians need information they can trust. Since the 1960s, The Kingdom of the Cults has been a trustworthy, well-researched resource on this topic for pastors, lay leaders, and other Christians. The Kingdom of the Cults Handbook takes that same, reliable information and pares it down into a more concise and simplified format. It's perfect for everyone from Christian teachers and ministry leaders to those who just want to better understand the religion of their neighbors. Covering everything from established religions like Islam and Buddhism to shifting trends in Mormonism, Scientology, and Wicca, this book will answer your questions and help you understand and communicate the key differences between true Christianity and other belief systems.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich VWL - Geldtheorie, Geldpolitik, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Pforzheim (Volkswirtschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In den letzten Jahrzehnten hauften sich Nachrichten uber Wahrungskrisen in verschiedenen Landern. Sie gelangten zu bisher unbekanntem Ausmass. Vor allem Brasilien, Russland, Mexiko, die Krisenlander in Ostasien und aktuell Argentinien und die Turkei traf es besonders schlimm. Diese Krisen wirkten sich nicht nur auf die Wirtschaft der betroffenen Staaten aus, sondern oft auf die gesamte Weltwirtschaft. Vor allem durch die Globalisierung nimmt die Ansteckungsgefahr einer Wahrungskrise zu. In Ostasien schlich sich die Krise uber Thailand ein und breitete sich dann uber Malaysia, die Philippinen, Indonesien und Sudkorea aus. Im folgenden soll aufgezeigt werden, welche moglichen Ursachen Wahrungskrisen haben konnen, wie deren Verlauf ist und wie man sie bekampfen kann. Ziel war, die Charakterisierung von Wahrungskrisen so allgemein wie moglich zu gestalten. Eine fur alle Wahrungskrisen zutreffende Analyse ist in der Literatur jedoch nicht zu finden. Vielmehr wird der Sachverhalt anhand verschiedener, bereits stattgefundener Krisen dargestellt
