4.0 out of 5 stars Origins and History of New Thought, April 21, 2000
By Bruce Kerievsky (Great Neck, New York) - See all my reviews
This 1963 book provides an invaluable glimpse into the mid-nineteenth century origins, beginning with Phineas P. Quimby, of the New Thought movement in the United States. It describes the careers of the most influential teachers and writers in the various schools and movements, with the exception of the well-known Christian Science church.

It is most successful in uncritically informing the reader of the roots of modern New-Age ideas, most of which were expressed more than a hundred years earlier. It is endlessly surprising to discover how little credit most spiritual leaders give to their ideological forbears and how, because of the lack of any coherent organization, a widespread unawareness of earlier discoveries persists.

Although the author supplies an apparently comprehensive bibliography to the grateful student, the reader wishes that the text delineated more precisely the specific differences in philosophy among the several teachings, for it is those differences that produced the individual schools and distinct spiritual communities.

5.0 out of 5 stars re: An historical treasure, May 21, 2006
By Dr. Greg (Northern CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Braden's text is a MUST for any serious student of metaphysics. The work delves deeply into the roots of New Thought and chronicles many key churches and movements throughout the United States and abroad. Braden writes with scholarly insight and spirit-led intuition. You won't be dissappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Spirits in Rebellion, October 23, 2007
We're using this book in Agape ministerial school - U.T.S.L.A. - for our "Emergence of New Thought/Ancient Wisdom" class. As we study these forefathers of New Thought in the book, we also research other information about them - on line, in the library, etc.
I must say we don't find much of interest that this book has left out.
Mr. Braden is not an especially engaging writer, but he gives you the info, and we're grateful to him for this book.
