Some have said that neopaganism is the fastest growing (percentage-wise) religious movement in the West. This approach (also known as “Wicca” or the “Craft”) has gained an influence far beyond its numbers. It has gained significant influence at many liberal theological seminaries. Neopaganism has been promoted in films, TV programs, and best-selling books. It is increasing by targeting a younger market. There are many “covens” in middle schools, high schools, and colleges. They demand chaplaincies in the armed services.
We need to know about this relatively new cultural factor. Even though it is a “new witchcraft,” it doesn’t involve broomsticks and pointed hats. They repudiate Satanism-which is to them a Christian heresy-opposing or turning upside down the Biblical message. They want to put forward an entirely different worldview similar to the Eastern/occult approach. This lecture will develop a deeper understanding of neopaganism and how to respond to it.
