The book aims to dissect and analyze the emergence and impact of movements such as Faith Healing, Christian Science, and Theosophy, exploring how they interact with traditional Christianity. It presents an inquiry into these new religious expressions that reflect the changing spiritual landscape of society and the underlying motivations driving individuals towards these movements. The opening of the book introduces the historical context, noting the significant growth of new religious cults over the last few decades, particularly in response to perceived deficiencies within established religions. Atkins discusses the complexities of the historical Christian consciousness, highlighting an era marked by a struggle between inherited faiths and the evolving quests for spiritual understanding in light of scientific advancements, philosophical shifts, and social upheavals. He emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive approach to understanding these modern movements, which, while diverse and often conflicting, may share underlying spiritual urges reflective of the human experience. This initial exposition sets the stage for a deeper exploration of specific cults and their theological underpinnings in subsequent chapters.
