Index Of Authors Referred To.
This work takes a measured, scholarly look at the rise of Spiritualism over the past half‑century, weighing its lofty promises against the outcomes it has produced. Drawing on biblical prophecy and the Scriptures as the ultimate yardstick, the author asks whether the movement’s claims of a new heavenly era are rooted in divine truth or merely human invention. The preface sets a serious tone, urging readers to set aside preconceptions and follow the evidence wherever it leads.
The first chapter frames the inquiry with the timeless question posed by Christ: is a teaching “from heaven or of men?” From there, the author explores the theological implications, historical influence, and psychological appeal of Spiritualism, contrasting its promises with scriptural warnings about deception. Throughout, the analysis remains grounded in careful testimony, inviting believers and skeptics alike to examine the claims with an open, yet discerning, mind.
