This is the second edition to the first one Dictionary of Cults, Sects, Religions, and the Occult. This new edition has taken on the threefold task of updating, adding/including, and excluding/deleting.

One need only think for a moment about Islam, the attacks of terrorists on 9/11/01, and the subsequent wars with Afghanistan and Iraq. Much has also happened in the world of the cults and the occult.
