Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do three great minds, Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche, have to say about religion? How do their thoughts affect Christian churches and the changes within them? The Secular Magi analyzes the thoughts of these men and their importance to those who study theology. While acknowledging how the ambivalent Christian thinkers feel toward thoughts of these men, Newell addresses how the insight they provide can be accomodated within contemporary theology. Newell presents a thorough, incisive, and well-written account of these three seminal thinkers and their impact on contemporary theology. The book includes a challenging appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of their thought, and its challenge to the church. The Secular Magi was originally published in 1986 by Pilgrim Press.
