Documents from the Pope and the Vatican

Jesus Christ the Bearer of the Water of Life

A Christian Reflection on the 'New Age'

Pontifical Council for Culture - Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue

An in depth study into New Age spirituality

A unique document which traces the development of the New Age movement from its penetrations into Western culture at Woodstock, to today’s widespread acceptance of many elements of New Age Spirituality.
The text defines key terms and elements of the New Age movement and explores its roots in Eastern religions, esotericism and the occult. These are contrasted with the truths of Christianity and God as revealed by Jesus Christ. Pastoral advice is given for an effective dialogue with and evangelisation of people already influenced by the New Age.
