I have found this book by Terry L. Miethe to be very concise and accurate. While not completely exhaustive, Terry has given an unbiased look at various religious groups, cults and docternal positions. Many who find themselves in a particular sect, religiously speaking, may find themselves somewhat affended by the truth, the word of God tells us "The wounds of a friend are faithful", (Proverbs 27:6). Terry's intent is to educate not affend. I find this book an interesting resource for my study library as a quick reference for docternal topics and understanding.

I used this book all through my missionary training. I had 6 semesters of theology and I found this book indespensible for one use. This is the book that gives a truly concise definition for a word you are struggling to understand. This is by no means exhaustive, but I used it and still refer to it in the same way I refer to Websters when I need a definition.

Helps you to understand terms and definitions in a fast and concise way.. A must reference resource.

This is an excellent, clear theological book. This explains all words clear enough that everyone is able to understand.

Thank you for your prompt and professional service in purchasing this product. Your site listed the condition of the book and it arrived exactly as you said it would.

This book is a must-have for any Christian, new Christian or seasoned/educated veteran Christian of ANY doctrinal background and/or "religious denomination". This book educates the reader on the different approaches and practices of Christianity in various religions or religious "denominations". "Religious Denomination" is the various ways that are a man-made way of practicing being a follower of Jesus Christ (Christian) and the man-made structure of being educated in the Holy bible. Doctrines are like different "rule books" of someone's or a groups' perspective of how to learn and practice being a Christian and/or follower of Jesus Christ and how to become educated in the bible and go about being educated in the Holy bible.
