ISBN: 0310704316 ISBN-13: 9780310704317 Publisher: Zondervan OUR PRICE: $16.14 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: April 1995 Annotation: Reincarnation, auras, and energizing crystals - surely these are the stuff of fairy tales, nothing more. People don't really speak to ancient Egyptian holy men, or listen seriously to Shirley MacLaine, for that matter - do they? Drawing from a range of occult, pagan, and pseudo-scientific traditions, the New Age Movement is broad, diffuse, hard to nail down - and insidiously dangerous. Its belief in the "divinity of humanity", its emphasis on "self-actualization", and its looking forward to a coming utopian "new world" have tremendous appeal. But does it have the truth? |
