Unmasked the Deceiver of This and Every Age!

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!

What does who believe!

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.
