| Summary |
"This book is an introduction to the theological systems of six "new" religions--Mormonism, Christian Science, Theosophy, the Unification Church, Scientology, and the New Age movement. Organized as a series of theological conversations about ultimate questions, it offers a guide to the answers these religions offer. Drawing heavily on sources from the movements themselves, the book presents a balanced comparative account of their emerging theological systems"--Back cover |
