Lectures on Spiritualism

by Joel Tiffany

About this book

Joel Tiffany’s lectures set out a broad philosophy of spiritual development. Delivered at Prospect Street Church in Cleveland during the winter and spring of 1851, they connect questions about individual existence, spirit and immortality with discussions of mesmerism, clairvoyance and spiritual manifestations.

Tiffany treats the reported phenomena as part of a larger inquiry into human development and the relation between spiritual and physical life. Christianity and progress also enter the sequence as he develops the implications of his account. The complete original volume preserves the order of the lectures and the historical printed pages, allowing readers to follow the argument as a sustained course of addresses.
