Opis

The Spirituality Revolution: The Emergence of Contemporary Spirituality recognizes that we have outgrown the ideals and values of previous times and reveals an image of the spiritual situation of our era. Recent discoveries in physics, biology, psychology and ecology have begun to restore status to previously discredited spiritual visions of reality and this book illustrates the ways in which we might uncover a universal spiritual wisdom that could transform our splintered world. The Spirituality Revolution addresses a major social issue which requires immediate attention if we are to creatively respond to spiraling outbreaks of depression, suicide, addiction and psychological suffering.

Recenzje

'It is sometimes possible to recommend a book without hesitation. This is such a book. It is exceptionally intelligent, readable, timely and full of hope. Tacey's mature comments, for example on fundamentalism, on the link between wholeness and perfection, on the distinction between spirituality and spiritualism, and his entire critique of comtemporary religion (focused mainly on Christianity), so succinctly and reasonably put, are worth the price of the book alone'. - Dr Larry Culliford, Network Review: Journal of the Scientific and Medical Network, Winter 2004
