Apocalyptic Graceis an incisive and original exploration of the five eras or Worlds of human cultural, religious, political, economic, and psychological evolution. Stephen Powell, a seasoned anthropologist and psychotherapist, illuminates the hunter/gatherer, horitciltural, agrarian, and industrial/technological epochs in unexpectedly fresh and timely ways. Foremost, the diversity of these Worlds is still within us all.

World One, reaching back to 50,000 BCE, was a time of widely accepted shamanistic assumptions. World Two (10,000 to 3500 BCE) developed small-scale farming and tribal cohesion, but also unprecedented social conformity.World Three (from 3500 about BCE) experienced the global rise of caste-structured hierarchies plus the World Religions as cultural compensation. Beginning in the 1600s, World Four developed a mechanistic, secularized world view, accentuated by individualism and ther rise of popular culture.

Finally, Powell describes the beginnings of a new, fifth set of world assumptions -- a world witout borders. Apolcalyptic Graceleads the reader on a stunning survey of this remarkable journey.

""Apocalyptic Grace is a fascinating book that brings together archetypal psychology and anthropology in a revolutionary way. Wise, wonderfully written, it is profoundly useful as a psycho-cultural guide to the coming worlds."
--Roshi Joan Halifax, Zen Buddhist authorBeing with Dying --Roshi Joan Halifax, Upaya Zen Center

-- Cindy Bellinger, Enchantment Magazine --Cindy Bellinger, Enchantment Magazine

""Stephen Powell's Apocalyltic Grace understands tha at th depts of culture, and our hearts, is the awareness that we all add indigenous to the earth. It is this understanding that will guide us in the days to come.""
