4.0 out of 5 stars Pertinent examination of the pitfalls of heresy-hunting, October 24, 2000

By A Customer

Far better than Spencer's Heresy Hunters: Character Assassination in the Church, this provides a useful check for those involved in the biblically crucial, but potentially perilous, task of discerning true doctrine. See Robert Bowman's critique however for balance...

2.0 out of 5 stars Mostly Dated Material; Should Be 1/2 As Long, May 16, 2001

By	Timothy W. Postma (Jenison, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're looking for an exposé against Dave Hunt or Constance Cumby, which I wasn't, then you've come to the right place. Most of the book contains problematic attacks by these two, and is dated to the late 80s. And even then there's way too much. The point could have been made with half the pages. I struggled to get through the whole thing, but finished because usually the Passantinos write quality stuff. The best thing I learned was just to avoid Hunt and Cumby altogether. There are many good counter-cult authors out there, including the Passantinos, such as Walter Martin, Elliot Miller, and Douglas Groothuis.

If you're looking for good discernment techniques or the ability to recognize poor analysis, just read the first and last chapters.
