The New Age Movement in American Culture cover

The philosophical and practical aspects of the New Age religious movement pervade American culture. The New Age Movement in American Culture is a comprehensive cultural history that surveys the major developments of the movement and demonstrates that the New Age, like most alternative religions, reflects its culture in that it exaggerates current trends at times but will also at times reject them in lieu of another path.

A thoroughly documented and generally reliable assessment of historical roots of New Age influences and the impact they will continue to have on mainstream American life. Christians urgently need to respond to this summons to sharpen their philosophical and theological discernment. -- Gordon R. Lewis, Senior Professor Theology/Philosophy, Denver Seminary and author of Testing Christianity's Truth Claims (UPA)
Serious students of the New Age movement will not want to overlook the resources this modest-appearing book has to offer. -- Robert Ellwood, AMERICAN STUDIES
A useful reference for libraries, scholars, and students. -- Christel Manning, RELIGIOUS STUDIES REVIEW
This is an excellent introduction to the New Age for anyone with a serious interest. It is a useful guide for EHEers, especially American ones, as it would be most helpful in enabling them to situate themselves within one of the most important spiritual movements of our day. * Exceptional Human Experience *
This is an impressive book. Kyle has done his homework well. An up-to-date, panoramic, accurate look at an important movement that is all-too-frequently misunderstood. -- Elliot Miller, CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL
