Select Works of Douglas Groothuis (3 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Philosopher and apologist Douglas Groothuis has spoken and written extensively on New Age movements—confronting them with the truth and pertinence of Christianity. This collection gathers three books addressing the New Age movements that influence today’s society and churches.
Groothuis offers a thoughtful critique of New Age ideology, with insights into specific situations and practical considerations. Across these texts, Groothuis points readers to the Bible and historic Christian teaching, confronting New Age claims with Scripture, and equipping Christians with a better understanding of the New Age.
In Confronting the New Age, Groothuis discusses how to identify New Age influences in business, cultural, and educational spheres, and how to witness to New Age adherents. Deceived by the Light responds to popular near-death accounts such as Embraced by the Light and offers guidance on what to make of speculation about the afterlife—affirming that the Bible alone reveals all we need to know about life, death, and eternity. And finally in Jesus in an Age of Controversy, Groothuis offers an accessible study of the questionable foundations and faulty conclusions of New Age views on Jesus.
