From the Preface: My object in writing the following pages has mainly been to present an outline of the new basis of belief which, it appears to me, Spiritualism is nowadays furnishing to the world. I have endeavored to show that the grounds of its rejection on the one hand by materialistic science, and the fear with which it is regarded on the other by the popular faith, are alike void, even of a show of reason, that Spiritualism is the handmaid of both-that, standing midway between the opposing schools, it gives to the one a scientific basis for the divine things of old, whilst it restores to the other the much needed evidence of its expressed faith in the duality and continuity of life. Contents: The Existing Breach between Modern Culture and the Popular Faith, Modern Thought vs. Modern Facts, The Attitude of the Religious World Towards Modern Spiritualism, The Popular Faith and the Claims of Spiritualism as a Renewal of Revelation, The New Bases of Belief, Inspiration and Revelation: their Nature and Source, The Identity of Bible Facts and Spiritual Phenomena, Popular Errors and Objections to Spiritualism Explained and Answered, and Immortality in the Light of Modern Spiritualism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
