Description
This book begins with a comprehensive historical section that places the New Age within the context of its predecessor movements. It then focuses on specialized aspects of this subculture, from essays on the convergence of New Age spirituality with womens spirituality, to an essay on how Evangelical Christians have responded to the movement. The book also examines the international impact of the New Age.
