World Religions and Cults Vol. 3 (Download)

This book gets back to fewer total religious systems and slightly longer chapters. Obviously from the subtitle, this covers atheism and agnosticism, but it also talks about Nazism, communism, naturalism, postmodernism, and a few more. This book has quite a few appendices (eight of them).

What I love is that although there are many, many authors of the various chapters in the book, the tone stays fairly consistent. And the biggest thing is that it doesn't get overly technical. Most of the book is fairly conversational and easy to follow.

If your home school student attends a secular university he / she will be inundated with secular religions in a daily basis. Can they defend their faith? 90% of children raised in church leave the church when they leave home. This resource will help your student understand the atheist / agnostic views and will equip them to defend their faith from secular humanism.

As previously reviewed, World Religions and Cults is a 3 volume set. Volume 3 focuses on Atheistic and Humanistic Religions. Atheism, Agnosticism, Secular Humanism, Nazism, Scientology (Thetanism/Church of Scientology/Hubbardism), Communism, Postmodernism, Epicureanism and Evolutionary Religions, Dualism, Christian Syncretism with Evolution and other belief systems (compromise), Religion of Naturalism, Materialism, and Empiricisim each have their own chapters.

Several appendices at the end of Volume 3 offer invaluable additional information. Learn about the Bible versus other religious books, what a martyr is, if morality is possible for a Secularist, what the intelligent design movement is, how evolutionary humanism destroys, how to respond to Atheist propaganda and skeptics, and what Evolution (with a capital E) means. Most importantly, for those who need this question answered, "What must I do to be saved?" has its own chapter. What it all comes down to is knowing the Truth because your life (literally) depends on it.

This is the third and final book of the series as of right now. It is so very relevant to modern society. It covers secular and Atheistic religions. This book really allows you to compare the various religions and viewpoints featured. It shows the contrasts between the religions and a Biblical Christian worldview. It is a fantastic resource for both adults and homeschool. From a homeschool standpoint, I will probably introduce this at a high school level. Throughout the text, there are multiple authors and I feel like this gives a much more well-rounded viewpoint on the various religions. I think this is a must-read for Christians today. There is so much background and information, and the text is very, very thorough. If you are using for homeschool, I highly recommend the teacher's guide as a companion.
