‘The New Age has touched you', says Russell Chandler. You've heard its ideas, listened to its music, viewed its artwork, watched its superstars, read its literature and fought its products. You may even have participated in its therapies, shared in its rituals and embraced its philosophies - all without knowing them as New Age.’ Before writing his book. Chandler interviewed more than thirty, proponents and critics of the movement. He quotes extensively ? from New Age writers and thinkers like Shirley Maclaine, Marilyn Ferguson and M. Scott Peck, as well as from their critics, and his reporting is balanced and fair. In this five-part book Chandler examines: • the prevalence and premises of the New Age Movement • who’s who in the New Age • its influence on many aspects of our culture • how to discern and evaluate it • the Judeo-Christian alternative His compelling conclusions will challenge all who read this book. |
