“Qoheleth said it well: “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.” Eccl 1:9.
The New Age movement imports exotic religious ideas from the East into middle class America. A best-selling novel paints a picture of Jesus far different than what we read in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, based on the authority of a secret tradition….The New Age is really not so new… back quite far. . . to the Second Century in fact. . . to a loose but very widespread religious movement in the ancient world called Gnosticism.” Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio http://www.crossroadsinitiative.com
