The author does an amazing job of giving a religious portrait of what was to become the "old New Age" in the mid-to-late 20th century American Midwest. John E. Fetzer's life, as spiritual biography, not only illustrates its highlights, but also delineates the outlines of a remarkable career.
Hmmm. Somehow there are three biographies of John Fetzer. Haven't read the others, but the one by Carol Hedegus seems to be more or less conventional and that by Dan Ewald certainly concentrates on Fetzer's ownership of the Detroit Tigers. This book concentrates on his spiritual journey from his Seventh Day Adventist upbringing to a decidedly spiritualist Christianity that can be fairly characterized as New Age, as the title says.
There's lots of interesting stuff in here. The book's well-researched and told well, and seems to describe Fetzer's actual beliefs quite well. But it largely ignores the parts of John Fetzer's life that interest me.… (altro)
