We hope to show how occult philosophies -- Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Rosicrucianism, Swedenborg, Freemasonry, the Hegelian Dialectic, etc. -- have blended together with Christianity and swayed the beliefs of C. S. Lewis, George Mac Donald (who inspired Lewis) and many others. Today, many churches are led along the same spiritual paths.
