Taboo or to Do?: Is Christianity Complementary with Yoga, Martial Arts, Mindfulness, and Other Alternative Practices?
Today, some Christians--as part of their own personal growth--and some churches--aspart of their desire to reach the 'spiritual but not religious'--are adapting spiritualpractices that have their roots in East Asian religions or in disciplines that emergefrom New Age and New Spirituality. Other voices within the Church are wary of, andin some cases condemn, involvement with such practices. This book sifts throughsome of the most popular practices and asks whether or not they should really beconsidered off-limits for Christians or incompatible with the way of Jesus. Eachchapter provides a brief history of the alternative practice in focus, followed by anassessment of its strengths and weaknesses within a Christian framework, and a casestudy of a church interacting with the practice. Taboo or To Do? includes a Forewordby John Drane.
