Apologetics in the New Age: A Christian Critique of Pantheism

4.30 out of 5 stars

Description

The authors argue that Christian apologetics must be retooled to meet the challenges of the New Age movement. While numerous books have successfully countered Western rational skepticism with a robust defense of Christianity, a significant gap remained in addressing the Eastern pantheistic worldview that undergirds the New Age movement. 'Apologetics in the New Age' fills this void, marking a pioneering effort by evangelical philosophers to engage with Eastern thought and its modern manifestation. Norman Geisler, a prominent apologist, joins forces with David Clark to scrutinize the pantheistic paradigm and its symbiotic relationship with the New Age movement. According to the authors, pantheism provides the fertile ground in which the movement takes root, with its central tenet – that every individual participates in the divine – resonating deeply with contemporary American culture. The rapid rise of Eastern influences in American consciousness over the past few decades has caught Christian apologists off guard. To effectively respond to this shift, the authors contend that Christian apologists must adapt their approach, developing novel arguments to counter the New Age movement's distinctive challenges. By retooling their apologetic methodology, Christians can effectively engage with this emerging cultural phenomenon.
