[edit] Cited by other books

Some of the books which are said to cite this one were published years before it. Has there been a mistake? Steve Dufour 19:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

No. They are either later editions of those works, or this is a later edition of this book and it was published previously. I will check... Smee 19:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

Got it. They are later editions of the other works that cite the book, that came out afterwards. Smee 19:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

Is 2004 the correct date for the first publication of this book? Steve Dufour 19:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, but the citations have later publications in additonal formats. Smee 19:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] "Orthodox" vs. "mainstream" Christianity

When you use the expression "orthodox Christianity" it links to an article on the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches. Protestants use the expression "mainstream Christianity". You could also say "traditional Christianity" to mean the same thing, that is churches which believe in the standard Christian teachings including Catholics, Protestants, and Eastern Orthodox but excluding "cults" and "heretics".

Unless the book was written from an Eastern Orthodox point of view. Was it? Thanks. Steve Dufour 19:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• [1] - She pinpoints how the doctrines and practices of a dozen contemporary groups—as well as the New Age Movement—deviate from orthodox Christianity and shows how to reach out to cult members. Smee 19:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

With that information the meaning is clear to me, however some people might think the article was talking about the Eastern Church. Steve Dufour 20:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

So which denomination is it referring to then? Smee 20:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

As I understand it, the expression "orthodox Christianity" is being used here to refer to "mainstream Christianity", also known as "traditional Christianity", rather than to its more common meaning of "the Eastern Orthodox Churches". Steve Dufour 22:47, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. I have corrected the article accordingly. Smee 23:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
