"The Dangers of the Cosmic Christ"
“Matthew Fox’s 1988 book, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, has proven to be a seminal work. Fox’s ideas are largely accepted as fact by contemporary people. For example, the notion of “Mother Earth” as a spiritual being (understood through the lens of panentheism) has only gained more prominence, and is now virtually ubiquitous, since Fox wrote his monograph.1 Many others have shared his neo-pagan ideas.”

“Panentheism” is not a typographical error. Here is the definition:

“Definition of panentheism [noun]
: the doctrine that God includes the world as a part though not the whole of his being”
