The Chaos Of Cults - A Study In Present Day Isms - Jan Karel van Baalen (1956, 16th Printing)
From the preface:
Over against all lowering of the Christian standard the present volume maintains that there are but two religions in the world. The one is autosoterism, that salvation is from man. The other ascribes the entire work of salvation from the world's ills to God. Christianity is the name of the latter. It matters not under what flag the former sails: it stands in opposition to the Christian, that is, the true religion.
Even the most cursory examination of the ethnic religions should convince one of this truth. All these religions instruct men to work out their own salvation. Nor is this all: The ethnic religions not only teach men to
save themselves; they also promise a salvation which is quite naturalistic in its concept. It is the life of this earth lived again, minus its disappointing features.
One of the aims of this book is that this study of cults will convince evangelical Christians of the necessity of studying more carefully their faith and that we shall learn to appreciate the doctrine that is unto godliness.
