About this Item

Paperback small octavo, very good condition, minimal scratch front cover, minor edgewear, old price marks. 184 pp. R. A. Gilbert provides a startling expose of fundamentalist minority religions, and how their views adversely affect society. An example is a Christian fundamentalist minority group that has actively opposed everything they regard as a threat, including complementary medicine, ecology, the New Age and even Buddhism and Hinduism. Fundamentalism covers a broad spectrum of political beliefs, and includes the New Age and satanic ritual abuse hysteria.

About this title

Synopsis

Christian lay reader, antiquarian bookseller and mystical philosopher Gilbert examines the battle lines that have been drawn between orthodoxy and non-orthodoxy, tradition and "alternative" innovation, religious fundamentalism and the "New Age" and looks at the activities of intolerant * pressure groups whose aim is to impose their own restrictive values and belief systems on all levels of society.
