Belief Beyond Boundaries : Volume 5

This fifth volume of the "Religion Today" series explores "religions" or forms of spirituality that tend to be marginal to the mainstream of British and North American religious expression.

The book examines how alternative spiritualities traditionally classed as "New Age" or new religious movements have grown exponentially in recent years.

It progresses to detailed examination of Paganism, Celtic spirituality, Wicca, witchcraft, North American indigenous religion and New Age, considering the impact of the rise of science on religion and the emergence of new categories of spirituality.

The authors explore why these forms of spirituality are so popular in the contemporary UK and USA, and how they impact on mainstream traditions.
