The Purity and Destiny of Modern Spiritualism: Light for the Seeker, Hope for the Weary Hearted

by Thomas Bartlett Hall

About this book

Thomas Bartlett Hall explores the meaning and purpose of modern Spiritualism through a series of essays on spiritual inquiry, moral growth, and the relationship between inward experience and material life. His discussions contrast intellectual and spiritual culture while considering what investigators should seek beyond unusual manifestations.

The collection examines mediumship, individuality, prayer, possession and obsession, and the place of spiritual influence in human relationships. Accounts associated with the First Spiritual Temple accompany Hall’s argument that phenomena should serve a wider religious and ethical purpose. This 1899 edition gathers writings that reach back to the first series of 1863 and preserves the introduction, portraits, detailed contents, appendix, and original publisher matter. Digitized copy: Library of Congress.
