description Apart from social, economic and political forces, there are also religious forces at work which are aimed at changing the character of education in South Africa within the next few years. One of these religious forces which is having an increasing influence on the unrestricted pursuit of Christian education, is the New Age movement. The eclectic world view of the New Age is seen by the uninformed as a postmodernist movement which will ultimately supply the answers to problems in education. For the informed, the New Age symbolises the purposeful replacement of the Christian faith and in addition, the substitution of Christian education with New Age orientated subject matter and teaching methods. The subtle manner in which this infiltration is taking place can only be counteracted by knowledge of and a preparedness against the New Age.
