The Judeochristian Tradition Of Western Culture Has Slowly But Steadily Been Eclipsed By A New Way Of Viewing Spirituality.This Shift Has Been In The Making For Some Three Hundred Years. James A. Herrick Tells The Story Of How The Old View Has Been Dismantled And A New One Created Not Primarily Through Academic Or Institutional Channels But By Means Of Popular Religious Mediabooks, Speeches, Magazines And Pamphlets, As Well As Movies, Plays, Music, Radio Interviews, Television Programs And Websites.Although The New Spirituality Is Diffuse And Eclectic In Its Sources And Manifestations, Herrick Demonstrates A Significant Convergence Of Ideas, Beliefs, Assumptions, Convictions And Images In The Myriad Ways This New Religious Synthesis Makes Its Way Into Our Culture.
