Synopsis

Explore the rise of spiritism and its claims, then weigh them against faith and science. This volume surveys modern spiritist ideas and the public fascination they inspire, offering a careful, historical look at the movement and its most talked‑about figures. It presents a critical perspective on how spiritism has shaped religious and cultural dialogue since World War I.

This edition centers on the book Raymond by Sir Oliver Lodge, examining its suggested messages from the dead and the theories readers use to explain such phenomena. It also surveys how spiritist practices are portrayed in media, and what critics argue about the moral and spiritual stakes involved.

• The origins and vocabulary of spiritism, spiritualism, and related movements.


• Profiles of prominent mediums and how their communications are viewed by scholars and critics.


• Explanations and debates about phenomena like table turning, auras, and visions.


• Connections between late‑19th and early‑20th century science, religion, and the afterlife.

Ideal for readers of historical religious debates, biblical critique, and early 20th‑century thought on life, death, and what lies beyond.
