The New Revelations

THE NEW REVELATIONS is well structured for both education and persuasion. Author Neale Donald Walsh voices important questions about God, humanity, peace, and belief. Ed Asner and Ellen Burstyn offer a strong sense of the many facets of the divine. These two experienced actors bring a wealth of nuance to the work, wringing emotion from every word, every pause. However, the content of this discussion is less impressive than its structure or delivery. Little new is included; most concepts will be familiar from other New Age works, and Walsh's treatment of established religion will likely strike some listeners as too harsh. G.T.B.
