Romanticism, Mysticism and Panentheism

Some time back I wrote concering my alarm over Ann Voskamp’s book “One Thousand Gifts” that seems to have had wide influence among some Christian women today. Now Bob Dewaay has written a much more extensive book review that is well worth reading.

He writes:

“There is enough sensuality in the world without us having sensual desires stirred up under the guise of a higher order religious experience in the context of a panentheistic worldview. Voskamp’s book feeds into the romantic sensibilities of its postmodern readers. But it does nothing to promote the faith once for all delivered to the saints. It pushes the church even further down the unbiblical road of mysticism that so many are already on. We need to reject this and instead return to objective, Biblical truth.”
