New Age is rooted more in Eastern mysticism, Buddhism, and Hinduism, and doesn’t identify as a Christian movement, whereas New Thought is more gnostic in origin and claims to be Christian. Melissa Dougherty

New Thought teachings do not deny God, salvation, sin, or Jesus. Followers say they affirm Christian doctrines like justification, grace, and even the atonement. But they redefine then. Their definitions look nothing like the biblical ones. Melissa Dougherty

New Thought is not an organised religion. It’s a philosophy and spiritual movement. It is the background of many beliefs and philosophies accepted in American culture. From the power of mind over matter, positive thinking, and visualising your way to health and prosperity, its everywhere. Melissa Dougherty
