They Lie In Wait to Deceive, Volume 3

“That we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” (Ephesians 4:14)

Volume Overview

One of the more well-known professional anti-Mormons who had used his radio broadcasts to spread misleading information was the late “Dr.” Walter R. Martin. His claims and credentials are examined to determine if his professed credentials are valid as claimed or if he is just another imposter.

Walter Martin claimed a Ph.D., current ordination as a minister, and various other claims. As you read the numerous documents which trace his adult life, you will see that Walter Martin follows the typical format for professional anti-Mormons–they claim impressive credentials to gain the confidence of the public and take that opportunity to teach false and misleading information about the LDS Church. Martin and other professional anti-Mormons devote their entire lives to spreading false information. All documentation is included for the most discerning reader.
