With the help of numerous visual aids, your students explore the sense and nonsense of esoteric and occult practices through simple text work or practical experiments. Without a raised finger admonishing them to stay away from such hocus pocus, students can form their own opinions, often moving from initial wonder to a realization of "Oh, that's how it is!" The chapters on Christian communities and sects examine specific groups, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Scientology, and Satanists, as examples. Your students compare the belief practices and explanatory models of these groups with the Christian faith, allowing them to form their own opinions. The book is structured so that at the beginning of each chapter, you receive some tips and hints as well as possible solutions. This is followed by slides.
