According to VanBaalen, all religions could be divided into two groups, those which ascribe to humans the ability to accomplish their own salvation and those which ascribe that ability to God. The latter group is called Christianity. All other religion fits into the first group. In The Chaos of Cults, which went through numerous editions from its first appearance in 1938, Van Baalen analyzed various non-Christian religions in the light of Christian teachings." - From a description of the 1981 edition.

'This volume consists wholly of articles selected from the successive numbers of the American Messenger, to the middle of its thirteenth volume. William Allen Hallock (1794-1880) was the agent for the New England Tract Society (based in Andover, MA) when it changed its name to the American Tract Society in 1823 with the intention of becoming a national organization. The New York Religious Tract Society, considering a similar goal, contacted the New England group in 1824 about a possible merger. Hallock, believing that "the great wicked city of New York" should be its home, was influential in effecting this in 1825. He went on to wear many hats, including that of editor for the American Messenger. RELIGION BOX 10
