The postmodern claim that secular science, materialism, and
traditional Christianity are defunct has produced a worldview
crisis for contemporary society. Into the void has stepped the New
Age movement to offer a widely held and growing alternative.
According to John Newport, the influence of New Age beliefs on our
culture -- and even the dilution of Christianity itself -- demands
that they be scrutinized in the light of the Bible.
In this urgently needed work, Newport delivers a comprehensive
presentation of the New Age movement and the impact of its beliefs
on contemporary culture and Christianity, while also offering an
effective, biblical antidote for today's worldview crisis. Newport
first surveys the historical development of the New Age worldview,
from ancient times through important tendencies in
nineteenth-century America to its recent Far Eastern influences. He
then explores eleven key areas of the New Age worldview and
contrasts each area of belief with the traditional biblical
worldview.
Thoroughly discussed are New Age consciousness, spiritism and
channeling, magic and witchcraft, neopaganism and Satanism, New Age
ecology, the New Age movement's influence on personal healthcare,
New Age teachings on business and prosperity consciousness, New Age
perspectives on education and science, and much more. Throughout,
Newport maintains a fair dialogue with his subject matter while
showing why this dialogue ought to bring renewed commitment to what
the traditional biblical worldview has to say about each of these
areas.
