This week we profile Dr. Ron Rhodes, founder and president of Reasoning from the Scriptures ministries. Dr. Rhodes is author of 35 books, regularly addresses current issues in the national media, and teaches cults apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary (Charlotte, N.C.) and Biola Univeristy (La Mirada, CA), and other well-known seminaries, when time allows. Dr. Rhodes has also been a keynote speaker at numerous conferences across the United States. In my opinion, Dr. Rhodes is one of the best apologists in responding and refuting the cults. Education
