Description

This scholarly examination explores contemporary religious phenomena including channelling, holistic healing, meditation and divination within the context of New Age spirituality. Drawing on extensive ethnography conducted in the UK alongside comparative studies across America and Europe, the book challenges conventional interpretations that position self-authority as paramount in these practices. Instead, the author emphasises the critical role of social authority and spirit possession, demonstrating how participants' class positions and experiences of secularism fundamentally shape their engagement with these spiritual movements. The work sits within the Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspective Series, offering insights into how traditional power dynamics and social structures persist within ostensibly progressive spiritual communities. This Routledge publication bridges sociology and religious studies to provide a nuanced understanding of contemporary spirituality.
