Spiritualism: A Personal Experience and a Warning

by Coulson Kernahan

About this book

Coulson Kernahan recounts a séance and uses that experience to explain his opposition to spiritualism. Published in 1920, this short book approaches mediumship through Christian belief, questions about personal agency and the emotional needs of people mourning the dead.

Its seven chapters proceed from spiritual ‘housebreaking’ to the author’s own experience, his comments on the sitting, telepathy and his objections to the messages and promises associated with spirit communication. Kernahan contrasts those practices with his understanding of faith and the afterlife. The original text is preserved with its contents and contemporary publisher matter.
