The Gnostic empire strikes back

the long version

Militant feminism, Eastern religions, homosexual rights, nature worship, political correctness. What do these have in common? Gay rights are promoted in popular magazines, public radio, and Hollywood. Feminist spirituality is making inroads into Christianity. Christian students are being silenced in the name of religious tolerance. Mystical techniques for achieving well-being and self-knowledge are being adopted in the business world and military. Merely coincidental trends? Peter Jones says no. They are expressions of an ancient heresy reasserting itself today. Documenting how Gnosticism -- a heresy of self-deification -- has returned with a vengeance in the New Age Movement, Jones calls the church to spiritual warfare as The Gnostic Empire Strikes Back. - Back cover.
