- Neo-Paganism: Is Dialogue Possible? By Andrew J McLean
It is easy to parody another religion, and neopaganism is a parodist’s delight. One can easily brand its ritual as primitive or just plain weird.
Yet serious apologetics requires that one exercise a hermeneutic of respect in the attempt to understand another faith.
St Paul obviously spent time with the Athenians, reading their poets and watching people at worship before daring to address them. Only in this way can Christians begin to dialogue with pagans.

- Her Hidden Children: The Rise of Wicca And Paganism in America by Chas S. Clifton
“Chas S. Clifton’s Her Hidden Children is a pioneering look at the history of Neopagan religions in the U.S. Written with the sensitivity and humor of an insider and the dispassion of an outsider, it traces the early development of one of the fastest-growing religious movements in America today, and its uniquely American use of the trope of “nature” to create its identity. This book should be invaluable to scholars of religion, American Studies, and the burgeoning field of Pagan Studies.”

Journals
- Pomegranate: The International Journal of Pagan Studies Edited by Chas Clifton, a self-professed witch who teaches English at Colorado State University-Pueblo.
The Pomegranate is the first International, peer-reviewed journal of Pagan studies. It provides a forum for papers, essays and symposia on both ancient and contemporary Pagan religious practices. The Pomegranate also publishes timely reviews of scholarly books in this growing field. The editors seek both new interpretations and re-examinations of those traditions marked both by an emphasis on nature as a source of sacred value (e.g., Wicca, modern Goddess religions) as well as those emphasizing continuity with a polytheistic past (e.g., Ásatrú and other forms of ‘reconstructionist’ Paganism). The editors also seek papers on the interplay between Pagan religious traditions, popular culture, literature, psychology and the arts.
