Summary: Great springboard for further study
Comment: The essays in this book provide scholary insight and terrific references for the religious/spiritual side of the New Age movement. An essay drawing strong parallels between Christian Charismatic Movement and the New Age Movement to be impartial and very enlightening.

Although it is not a comprehensive work (compare with Marilyn Ferguson's "The Aquarian Conspiracy"), it is a great place for a serach for the more responsible features of New Age mysticism and spirituality.

Rating: 1
Summary: One-sided "perspectives"
Comment: Silly me. I thought perspectives meant more than one view. This book, while claiming to be an indifferent look at the New Age Movement, obviously is written by staunch backers of the Movement with too few exceptions to be considered balanced. People shouldn't pretend to be scholarly when they're simply being cheerleaders for an idea.

Rating: 5
Summary: wrong interview
Comment: This is not a review. The Jim Melton interview you run in relation to this text has nothing to do with J. Gordon Melton. Two different people. It would be a good idea to do an interview with J. Gordon Melton, one of the foremost academics on modern religion, cults and the New Age
