*While not everyone would agree on the "countercult personality" status of all of those included on this page, I have made the choice based on print publication and presence in the field of countercult apologetics. There are a number of persons who have contributed significantly to the countercult movement through the Internet, but not through the Christian press. Profiles of many of these may be found at The Countercult on the Internet.
