Overview

This comparison and discussion of the differences between Paganism and Christianity includes an examination of the eight distinguishing characteristics of Pagan spirituality, and a Pagan perspective of evil, Satan, and suffering. The book deepens the discussion of Paganism's theological and philosophical implications, penetrating its inner truths, and examining reasons for its modern growth. For Christians, it de-mystifies Paganism, offering respectful answers to criticisms levelled at Pagan beliefs and practices. Discussed within are issues such as, spiritual outlooks, encounters with deities, the sacrilization of the year in Wiccan practice, and the sacred role of sexuality.
