3.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Resource, April 4, 2009
By Nick Norelli (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
The Kingdom of the Occult is comprised of edited portions of Walter Martin's various lectures and writings as well commentary on Martin's work and original material by Rusche and Van Gorden. It offers an overview of the occult, ranging from Paganism to spiritual warfare with a lot in between. Each chapter follows a standard format. They all begin with a list of "quick facts," followed by introductions that serve as summaries of whatever particular practice is the focus of the chapter before moving into case studies from Walter Martin's experience with these various groups and practices. These are followed by a Scriptural responses and then the chapters are closed out with concluding remarks and a recommended resources list. The book is rounded out with two appendices, a 22 page bibliography, and a 19 page subject index.

As a reference book this is a wonderful resource. I wouldn't personally recommend reading it straight through as it can be somewhat tedious at times, but when a question arises concerning a certain occult practice or belief then this, I think, would be one of the first places to turn. The final chapter on evangelism is worth noting as the authors haven't lost sight of the fact that the most important reason to study the occult is to be able to offer help to those trapped in it; to be able to offer hope in something better, Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read-very informative, October 14, 2008
By D. Martin (Costa Mesa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is exceptional. I am not a big reader but am interested in this area of study and I found this book hard to put down. It is easy to read and the information is thoroughly documented. It clearly explains the many frightening facets of the world of the occult.
As I was reading it I felt like I was in a college course completely engaged by the professor's teachings. It breaks down complicated beliefs in an easy to understand manner. I highly recommend this book to learn more about the occult. It is great source of information and a good book to keep in your personal library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, divisive, and sloppy, October 23, 2009
By Aaron Vriesman (Hudsonville, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was hoping this book would be as well researched and informative as Walter Martin's excellent Kingdom Of The Cults book. Instead, it turns out to be somewhat-researched, preachy, and even divisive and sloppy.
There are some positives: The book does provide adequate information on Wicca, Satanism and Astrology, among some others. Occasional testimonies of those with personal experience in these topics are helpful for gaining an inside perspective.
However, the first three chapters simply preach to the choir about the evils and deception of the occult. The research is limited on perspectives and views from within the occult itself. I ended up feeling like I mostly had an outside perspective on the topics.
Even worse, the book alienates a good chunk of evangelical Christians with some of its statements. On page 38, the book takes the sides on a polarizing debate among Christians, falling on the side of dispensational theology. Moreover, it uses the derogatory term, "replacement theology," for the opposing view while calling it an "occult" doctrine. This is alienating to many Protestants, including myself.
The book demonstrates sloppiness on page 551, mistakenly citing Matthew 17:16 as the Scripture passage where Jesus says some demons will only come out by prayer or fasting. The correct verse for these words from Jesus is in Mark 9:29.
It could have been so much better.
