Excerpt from The New Age and Its Messenger The writings of that most remarkable man of modern ecclesiastical history, Emanuel Swedenborg, have taken a deep hold upon my mind, and affected my whole inner life. He who comes to the perusal of them with an unprej udiced mind, with a sincere desire to learn the truth for the sake of truth - who loves truth for its own divine self - will not fail to find in them principles of great value. He will find there a true spiritual philosophy. He who loves truth for its own sake, and who incorporates it immediately into the life, is in that moral condition which renders the mind of man receptive of enlighten ment from the Lord, the infinite fountain of all light. There are some minds peculiarly fitted to receive truths of a certain class, as those relating to some one of the sciences. But a soul in the moral attitude referred to above, drinks in spontaneously all spiritual truth. He that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (j no. Iii.

It is a principle of great importance, unfolded by Swedenborg, that there is apparent truth and real truth. An intelligent and affectional reception of his teachings will raise one from that lower intellectual range where only seeming truth is perceived, to that higher position where truth is seen as it is. There is the phenomenal, or things as they appear to the senses of the natural man, and the real, or things as they appear to the spiritual mind, or to enlightened reason. He justly observes, that "To think spiritually, is to think of things as they essen-

Reincarnation, auras, and energizing crystals -- surely these are the stuff of fairy tales, nothing more. People don’t really speak to ancient Egyptian holy men, or listen seriously to Shirley MacLaine, for that matter -- do they? Drawing from a range of occult, pagan, and pseudo-scientific traditions, the New Age Movement is broad, diffuse, hard to nail down -- and insidiously dangerous. Its belief in the "divinity of humanity," its emphasis on "self-actualization," and its looking forward to a coming utopian "new world" have tremendous appeal. But does it have the truth?
John Newport delivers a comprehensive study of the impact of New Age beliefs on contemporary culture - and on Christianity itself - while also offering an effective, biblical antidote to today's worldview crisis. After first surveying the historical development of the New Age worldview, from ancient times through important tendencies in nineteenth-century America to recent Far Eastern influences, Newport explores in depth eleven key areas of the New Age worldview and contrasts each area of belief with the traditional biblical worldview.
