Synopsis
Four Modern Religious Movements surveys a range of beliefs that shaped public life in the modern era.
It offers concise, critical portraits of spiritualism, Theosophy, and related currents, showing how they challenged traditional faiths and educated readers about their ideas and methods. The book presents historical context, notable debates, and the questions these movements raised about truth, religion, and influence.
The author uses accessible language to outline the rise of spiritualist services, the role of mediums, and the pushback from scholars and investigators. It also explains how Theosophy positions itself as a universal “secret doctrine” while examining its claims and controversies. The discussion extends to the movement among Mormons and the broader implications for modern religious thought. Throughout, the book emphasizes critical examination over sensationalism and invites readers to weigh evidence and reasoning.
- Clear histories of spiritualism, its practices, and public reception
- explanations of Theosophy and its claim to unify religious truth
- contextual notes on the growth of new religious movements, including the Latter Day Saints
- commentary on the role of investigation, skepticism, and epistemology in religion
Ideal for readers exploring how modern religious movements emerged, competed, and influenced faith and culture.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The materialist sets his mind on the things that are upon the earth because he has abandoned belief in a spiritual order. Every Christian is a spiritualist in the true sense of the term, but the word is now used chiefly of one who believed that the dead can and do communicate through mediums with the living.
