Abstract
In a short article it is necessary right at the start to state the obvious: that there are many varieties of ‘Christianity’ and many varieties of ‘New Age Thought’. In talking about the Christian tradition, it is possible to think in terms of denomination: Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant, and the sub-varieties within each.In the case of New Age thought, the problem of pinning down what it represents is even more difficult, as this paper will show. Rather than concentrating on definitions, or a wide range of scattered issues, the purpose of this paper is to give some insight into the general phenomenon that is sometimes called “New Age religion”, to build bridges between New Age thought and Christianity, and to indicate also some areas wherein Christians would be wise to exercise caution in relation to New Age thought.
