Description

Explore a fresh sociological look at modern religious phenomena with Possession, Power and the New Age. This academic work by Matthew Wood examines practices like channeling, holistic healing, meditation, and divination. While these are often categorized under the New Age Movement, this book challenges the idea that they are driven solely by individual self-authority. Through extensive ethnography conducted in the UK and comparative studies across America and Europe, the text examines how social authority and spirit possession function in contemporary settings. It connects these spiritual experiences to the class positions and experiences of participants within neoliberal societies. This book is part of the Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspective Series, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in anthropology, sociology, and religious studies.
