Olav Hammer, Ph.D. (2000) in History of Religions, Lund (Sweden), is Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. He has published extensively, mainly in Swedish, on the New Age and on contemporary Western esotericism.
Review:
'Claiming Knowledge propose une analyse fort pertinente des modalités de la construction du savoir religieux dans la modernité. Ce livre est une contribution importante à l'histore de l'ésotérisme occidental en particulier et des productions religieuses de la modernité en général.'
David A. Palmer, Justificatif, 2004.
'Hammer has done a great service with his careful analysis of an understudied phenomenon in contemporary religion: the New Age. This book is a treasure of research into the roots and development of modern esotericism...offers new insight...strong book, which certainly deserves a place in the stacks of academic libraries.'
T.A. Forsthoefel, Choice, 2001.
