Modern New Age thought has grown popular and is increasingly replacing Christianity. Yet even New Age philosophy incorporates Christian allegory to support its own doctrines, often interpreting Scripture through a New Age lens in order to reinforce its worldview.

New Age fuses elements of various religions, science, philosophy, and esoteric mysticism into a unified framework of theosophical thought that shapes the movement.  In this episode, we examine Theosophy, the Lucis Trust, and even certain Christian charismatic claims, connecting them all to Genesis 3.

The serpent’s claims— “You shall not surely die,” “You shall be as gods,” and “You shall know good and evil”— are further developed within New Age teaching.
