Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Spiritualism and the Christian Faith: Being the Liverpool Lecture, 1918, Delivered Under the Auspices of the Liverpool Diocesan Board of Divinity § I. Spiritualism, or Spiritism, is the term now commonly applied to a set of beliefs and practices which can be traced back to the dawn of written history and still show no inconsiderable vitality. The fundamental beliefs are two in number: that "spirits" exist, and that men can, by the aid of certain agents or processes, communicate with them. The practices consist of efforts to make such communications. In antiquity it was generally hoped by such means to gain either knowledge of the future or powers (usually to be used for evil ends) which should transcend the normal. In quite modern times the desire is rather to be assured that those whom we have known have survived bodily death, to discover that they are happy, and to be certain that they continue to be interested in our welfare. "Psychical Research" is an attempt to examine the phenomena of spiritualism by the methods of experiment, observation, and deduction which have been enormously successful in modern physical and biological science.
