  From 1870 to 1970, Westerners lived in the world's first secular society. But now, in this post-industrial age of uncertainty, mysticism has re-invented itself. This book describes the religious revival currently sweeping the UK and Europe, which has its focus on miracles and visions. Ian Cotton gives the international context of a revival described by economist and historian Peter Drucker as the most significant event of the century . Illustrating his story with case histories, and outlining the phenomenon's relationship with broader 20th-century trends such as irrationalism and '60s counter culture, Cotton moves from tales of ecstacy-induced conversions to the cutting edge of neuroscience.

  A description of the religious revival currently sweeping the UK and Europe. With its focus on miracles and visions, the new charismatic/evangelical movement is revolutionizing what it means to be Christian today. It is also proving a significant social and political force, with instincts markedly different from comparable movements in the 1980s. Conservative fundamentalism is out - instead the emphasis is on traditional Christian concern for the poor and the deprived. Ian Cotton approaches this controversial subject with sensitivity and intelligence, indicating how the new style of religious worship links up with the Green and New Age movements.
