Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group, has announced that The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin and edited by Ravi Zacharias has reached a coveted sales milestone of 1 million copies sold.

Originally published in 1965, The Kingdom of the Cults was completely revised and updated in 2003 and continues to be the leading reference work on the major contemporary cult systems. It evaluates each cult’s history and beliefs, contrasting individual teachings with true biblical theology.

In an era of rapid cult growth worldwide, Christians today more than ever need the trustworthy information and biblical truths contained in The Kingdom of the Cults.

Martin held four degrees, having received his doctorate from California Coast University in the field of Comparative Religions. Author of a dozen books, a half-dozen booklets and many articles, Dr. Martin died in 1989.

Ravi Zacharias, president of Ravi Zacharias Ministries, is a respected speaker and author of many books.
