"Dr Walter Martin (1928-1989) is widely accepted as the "father" of the Counter-Cult Movement. He held four earned degrees and received his education at Stony Brook School and Shelton College. He completed his Master's degree at New York University, and his Ph.D. at California Western University. He has authored 12 books, six booklets, and scores of articles. His tracts have been translated into a number of languages and circulated in the millions of copies around the world. He was a recognized authority on religions having their origins in the United States. The late Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse, named by Billy Graham as one of the foremost Bible Teachers of the 20th Century, once wrote of Dr. Martin, 'I know of no one who equals him in this field.'"

Recorded Quotes
The following include some of my favorite recorded quotes by Dr Martin. The quotes are from recorded sermons, lectures, and radio shows ("Essential Christianity Radio Program, The Bible Answer Man"). Note: These are only very short excerpts and can only be fully understood in their full contexts! Dr Martin had a thorough and systematic approach when teaching. He generally kept a low tone of voice, but he also sometimes raised his voice in intense passages of discussions, lectures and sermons. The recordings below illustrate Dr Martins dynamic way of teaching.
