New Age Spirituality: an Assessment Duncan Sheldon Ferguson

Brief Description: Ten contributors describe the range of thought and practice within the New Age and offer balanced judgments regarding its value for societies and individuals undergoing unprecedented change. Assessing its weaknesses and strengths, the authors and editor Ferguson say the New Age is not all good or all bad and that some of its holistic and ecological tenets may be useful in formulating a spirituality in our confusing time. Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 220-235).
