Found myself continually agreeing with the Fr. Seraphim's analysis of contemporary religious phenomena and how globalism, ecumenism and new age movements are the preparation steps towards the last times. Awesome book definitely recommended
Father Seraphim Rose (1934-1982), an American Orthodox priest-monk, discusses spiriual and religious tendencies in Western, and especially American society. He saw these tendencies converging to form a single anti-Christian religion, and the book (written in the early 1970s) includes chapters on the ecumenical movement, Hinduism, Buddhism, UFOs, and the charismatic renewal movement within many Christian churches.
He regards the Charismatic renewal movement as "Christian mediumism" and a revival of pagan shamanism. He regards UFOs as demonic manifestations, specially tailored to appeal to modern Western culture's fascination with "science", and asserts that science fiction has prepared people in Western cultures to accept these demonic manifestations, and to explain them "scientifically", while scientists themselves tend to see them as being as much psychic as real.
