Hesselgrave. Grand Rapids : Baker Book House, c1978. 326 p. ; 22 cm. Includes bibliographical references. Contents: What this book is all about -- The African Zionist movement -- Kimbanguism : a prophet and his church -- The new apostolic church -- Iglesia ni Cristo : an angel and his church -- Moon Sun Myung and the Tong-il -- Nichiren Shoshu Soka Gakkai -- the lotus blossoms in Japan -- The Ahmadiya movement : Islamic renewal? -- Jehovah's witnesses -- Mormonism -- Jesus only : the united Pentecostal church -- Umbanda : a modern Brazilian religion -- Caodaism : a Vietnamese socio-religious movement -- What causes religious movements to grow? May this book bring us information needed for a more effective dissemination of Christian truth and the building of the Church of Christ. Surely there is much for us to learn in the manner in which other movements in various cultures are expanding. May it also impress upon us a sense of urgency for the proclamation of the gospel. And, may it loosen a volume of intercession for those who seek to present the Christ who saves men, sets them free and makes them whole.
