He is Executive Director of the Centers for Apologetics Research (CFAR), and general editor of Christianity, Cults and Religions.

In 1980, Paul joined the Christian Research Institute (CRI) under its founder, Walter Martin. For six of his fifteen years at CRI Paul served as a missionary in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and for six years he co-hosted the live, nationwide "Bible Answer Man" radio broadcast alongside Ron Rhodes, Robert M.

It is tremendously useful and something I wish I could have had in my years in the pastorate and as a military chaplain. Although we study the cults in Seminary it is hardly to our credit that we tend to forget the depth of the errors when we meet nice people who believe very bad things. Perhaps Mormonism is the best example. I was stationed with a Mormon Chaplain who constantly wanted to share the pulpit with me. Although I resisted him and tried to tell him why, he was so nice, and appeared to be just like the rest of the 35 chaplains on the base. When the Birch Society was strong in California, many Mormons were in the society and the people of my congregation began to look on them as "just like us." Such a pamphlet as this would have been a great help. Thanks for sharing it with us. May God Bless Your Work! --Chaplain (Col) John Clark, USAF RetThe pamphlet you graciously sent to Jessie and me is the best compendium of the cults I have seen.
