The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow

by Constance Cumbey

THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW was the first major book to take a critical look at the New Age Movement from a monotheistic, Christian perspective. The author also addresses issues of concern to Jews and Moslems as New Age characterized "peoples of the book." Political, sociological and religious aspects of the New Age Movement are examined along with ominous parallels to former movements, included but not limited to Nazism. "Deep ecology," "spirituality," "meditation," and other New Age themes are addressed, contrasting same with Christian orthodoxy. Full page newspaper ads ran in 1982 proclaiming THE CHRIST ARE NOW HERE as well as anti-Semitic, anti-Monotheistic themes in New Age books such as those of the Theosophical Society, Lucis Trust (Alice Bailey books), and others are addressed. A section is included on how to gently help those presently embedded in the "New Age" and allied movements.
