Modern Religious Cults and Movements
by Gaius Glenn Atkins
About the author
Born in Ohio in 1868, he became a Congregational minister, later taught homiletics at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City, and built a career that joined preaching with writing. Reliable reference sources consistently describe him as both a clergyman and an author, and library records show that he published widely across the first half of the twentieth century.
His books ranged from sermons and devotional reflections to broader studies of religion and culture, including works on modern religious movements and the history of American Congregationalism. That mix suggests a writer who cared both about personal faith and about the larger place of religion in public life.
He died in 1956. A suitable verified portrait image could not be confidently confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included.
