J. V. Coombs examines spiritualism, hypnotism, mental healing and religious visions from the standpoint of an early twentieth-century Christian critic. His account brings together reports of psychic phenomena, discussions of suggestion and the power of the mind, and arguments about the ways extraordinary experiences acquire religious authority.
The chapters move from superstition and witchcraft to Adventism, Mormonism, hypnotism, spiritualism and Christian Science. Coombs describes the conclusions he drew from psychical research and contemporary writing on mental phenomena, then sets out his own account of religious judgment. This complete historical edition preserves the original arguments, quotations, chapter sequence and concluding pages.
