This study invites readers to take account of the way that New Age religiosity addresses the spiritual hunger of contemporary men and women. These reflections are offered primarily to those engaged in pastoral work so that they might be able to explain how the New Age movement differs from the Christian faith. It is the fruit of the common reflection of the Working Group on New Religious Movements, composed of staff members of different dicasteries of the Holy See: the Pontifical Councils for Culture and for Interreligious Dialogue (which are the principal redactors for this project), the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. The present study is concerned with the complex phenomenon of "New Age" which is influencing many aspects of contemporary culture.
