Book Overview

What is the New Age movement? Is it a conspiracy? What can Christians do about it?In the last ten years the New Age has shifted out of the counterculture into the mainstream of society. Today its effects are felt in almost every aspect of life--medicine, politics, science, psychology and even religion.--Fortune 500 corporations routinely send their managers to New Age seminars to expand their minds and increase productivity.--Entertainer Shirley MacLaine has written two best-selling books that chronicle her conversion to the New Age.--Doctors and therapists increasingly employ healing techniques that are based on pantheistic principles.--Even advertisers on radio and television, in tune with New Age ideas, are telling us that we have unlimited potential.Douglas Groothuis explains how the New Age combines Eastern mysticism with Western optimism and why it has become so popular. His thorough, biblical analysis helps Christians know how to respond to this aggressive movement.

Unmasked the Deceiver of This and Every Age!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago

Although dated now, this is still a proper intro to the subject. The movement as Groothius points out is complex and dynamic, yet he provides the elements to it which can be flushed out throughout the culture.How significant to reflect back how the infiltration of this movement into media and medicine and education and government is now so fully entrenched.More to the point and more serious is this infiltration into the church, e.g. positive thinking. The comments here alone should awaken Christ's church to get rid of this leaven which is not new, just combination of old deceit with new terminology and players.Great source!

This is an excellent work comparing the basic assumptions and beliefs of the New Age movement and Biblical Christianity. Unequivocally written from a Christian standpoint it is a most gracious delineation of the differences between Monism and Monotheism. An excellent work for a christian person trying to understand what and where the New Age is and is going. An excellent work for a New Age person trying to comprehend just where the differences between their beliefs and purist Christianity are. Well written at a level that anyone can understand yet with enough reference material to be of great use to any serious student of philosophy or religion. Enlightening and complete.
