Converse E. Nickerson reads biblical accounts of spirits, apparitions, and communication with the unseen alongside the ideas of modern Spiritualism. The book treats these episodes as part of a continuing inquiry into immortality and the possibility of contact between the living and the dead.
Its chapters consider ghosthood, spirit communication, and the spiritual powers Nickerson finds in scriptural narratives. The discussion draws connections between passages in the Bible and the experiences and interpretations of psychical investigators. The author’s foreword explains his intention to offer a clear statement of his findings, while poems frame the larger themes of death, continuity, and consolation.
Published by Nickerson in Massachusetts in 1922, the complete historical edition includes the foreword, full sequence of chapters, and closing verse. Its original printed cover and pages are retained, including the concluding poem “The Way Home.”
