Book excerpt: This Element introduces New Age religion. The New Age Movement is a loosely cohesive conglomerate of different spiritual currents with no common founder, leader, institution, dogma, or scripture. Because of its diversity, it may appear amorphous and incoherent at first sight. This Element emphasizes both the unity and diversity of the New Age. It approaches the phenomenon from three main perspectives: 1) the historical development of New Age religion, 2) ideas and practices associated with the New Age, and 3) the social organization of the New Age movement. It thus provides a wide-angle view that sketches out some of the main patterns that emerge from a mosaic of individual currents and actors associated with the New Age. It also highlights some of the differences within the movement by exploring some ideas and practices in depth.

Book excerpt: We live in a world beset by many problems, and most of these problems are of our own creation. There is a method for solving these problems, and it can be found in the Christ message. In A New Age of Vision, author J. Craig Woods revisits the message Jesus brought to earth in an attempt to understand Gods purpose for us and how we can improve our human condition through spiritual growth. A spiritual journey to find the truth in the gospel of Jesus Christ, A New Age of Vision takes a new and bold look at what his message really means for us today. It explores the history of Christian religion and offers examples of how Christian doctrines were developed, and why these man-made doctrines missed the mark. It seeks to provide an understanding of why the Christian religion has failed us, and it also discusses the nature of our mind which provides the connection between the spiritual and physical realm. Finally, it investigates the missing gospel books and reveals an exciting truth about the teaching of Jesus Christ. A New Age of Vision shows how the Christ message offers us the truth we need for our tumultuous times. Learning and understanding this message provides the instructions for spiritual growth and the return to our spiritual Garden of Eden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decline of institutionalized religion in the increasingly secularized West has been offset by the contemporary spiritual development understood in the form of emerging New Age movements. This reference presents the potpourri of spiritual and psycho-physical therapeutic practices associated with this affirmation of the individual's spiritual freedom, the expectation of a future golden age, the emphasis on self-development, and the holistic pluralism that sets the dominant pulse for innovative spirituality in the twenty-first century. The A to Z of New Age Movements furnishes profiles and explanations of New Age spokespeople and leaders, of a range of human potential and self-help practices, of countercultural spiritual developments, and of different groups and organizations that identify as New Age. The dictionary consists of over 240 individual entries along with an introduction that describes the historical foundations of the New Age orientation and its relation with contemporary Western paganism. It also presents the sociological dimension of New Age expression, as well as the kinds of criticism with which the New Age identity must contend. There is both a New Age Chronology and a bibliography also included.
