Overview
This is one in a series of brief books on contemporary religious movements, comparing what they believe with Christian doctrine and explaining effective ways of witnessing to their adherents.
Publishers Description
Astrology, Tarot cards, Ouija boards, spiritism, psychic healing, palm reading, and old fashioned fortune telling (now called psychic consulting) -- all these are popular in America today. Psychic hotlines are heavily represented on television, with testimonials to their amazing ability to give people accurate details about their past and predictions about their future. Are psychics indeed gifted with supernatural powers? Andre Kole and Terry Holley show convincingly how the success of these and other paranormal phenomena depends on deceit and slight of hand rather than on genuine supernatural powers. This is an age when countless groups and movements, new and old, mark the religious landscape in our culture. As a result, many people are confused or uncertain in their search for spiritual truth and meaning. Because few people have the time or opportunity to research these movements fully, the Zondervan Guide to Cults and Religious Movements series provides essential information and insights for their spiritual journeys. The second wave of books in this series addresses a broad range of spiritual beliefs, from non-Trinitarian Christian sects to witchcraft and neo-paganism to classic non-Christian religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. All books but the summary volume, Truth and Error, contain five sections: -A concise introduction to the group being surveyed -An overview of the group's theology --- in its own words -Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group -A bibliography with sources for further study -A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the group -Truth and Error, the last book in the series, consists of parallel doctrinal charts compiled from all the other volumes. Three distinctives make this series especially useful to readers: -Information is carefully distilled to bring out truly essential points, rather than requiring readers to sift their way through a sea of secondary details. -Information is presented in a clear, easy-to-follow outline form with 'menu bar' running heads. This format greatly assists the reader in quickly locating topics and details of interest. Each book meets the needs and skill levels of both nontechnical and technical readers, providing an elementary level of refutation and progressing to a more advanced level using arguments based on the biblical text. The writers of these volumes are well qualified to present clear and reliable information and help readers to discern truth from falsehood. |

 | Fundamentalism Undermining Its Own Premises? Jul 29, 1999 |
| Kole and Holley set out to undermine belief in astrology and psychic phenomena, but do so through methods that are incommensurate with their own worldview. I applaud evangelical Christians who are willing to listen to scientific discourse on these matters, and realise that replicability and research design are good guides for public policy. However, the methodological problem here is that we only have a priori opinion and skewed interpretative communities that provide us with evidence of the existence of Christ. We only have their word for it that the historical entity in question was capable of supernatural feats,and no direct evidence that was the case. I do not accept the existence of those alleged miracles, and neither would most of the Skeptical sources that are cited. The fundamentalist belief in miracles needs to be held to stronger Lockean standards of empirical proof, which the authors admirably provide for astrology and "psychic phenomena." | | |  | An excellent reference book for study of psychic phenomena. Jul 1, 1999 |
| Kole and Holley, both professional magicians with over 60 years combined experience in illusion, tackle the questions surrounding the authenticity of psychic phenomena and astrology. This is a great study guide with easy-to-reference passages from their years of research. The authors present their evidence against that of the "pro-psychics" for a well rounded view of the issues. It's short but packed with solid research. Highly recommended. | | | Write your own review about Astrology And Psychic Phenomena
