5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the curious layman, July 4, 1999

By A Customer

Mr. Barrett does an outstanding job of presenting the spiritual beliefs throughout the world with a dispassionate, nonjudgmental voice. Before enumerating and describing the many cults and alternative religions, he explains the major world religions, as well as the differences and similarities between each, and then again between their own individual sects. This provides a strong and understandable foundation for understanding the roots of various cults and their beliefs. As much as possible, he obtains views on these from both their proponents and detractors. I have never read a more comprehensive book on this topic. Well-written, good organization, valuable information without sensationalism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate and non judgemental, March 13, 2000

By A Customer

This was a great book that gave a very detailed and accuarte look into alternate religions. The author was fair and reviewed each religion with an open mind and focused on the true main points.
