Great springboard for further study

The essays in this book provide scholary insight and terrific references for the religious/spiritual side of the New Age movement. An essay drawing strong parallels between Christian Charismatic Movement and the New Age Movement to be impartial and very enlightening.Although it is not a comprehensive work (compare with Marilyn Ferguson's "The Aquarian Conspiracy"), it is a great place for a serach for the more responsible features of New Age mysticism and spirituality.

wrong interview

This is not a review. The Jim Melton interview you run in relation to this text has nothing to do with J. Gordon Melton. Two different people. It would be a good idea to do an interview with J. Gordon Melton, one of the foremost academics on modern religion, cults and the New Age
