Miracles and Modern Spiritualism

Miracles and Modern Spiritualism is a book written by Alfred Russell Wallace, a British naturalist, explorer, and spiritualist. The book explores the topic of spiritualism, which was a popular movement in the late 19th century that claimed to communicate with the dead and the afterlife. In this book, Wallace examines the evidence for spiritualism and argues that it is a genuine phenomenon that cannot be explained by conventional science. He presents case studies of spiritualist mediums and their abilities to communicate with the dead, as well as examples of miraculous healings and other supernatural occurrences. Wallace also discusses the philosophical implications of spiritualism, including its potential to provide evidence for the existence of an afterlife and the immortality of the soul. He argues that spiritualism represents a new era in human understanding and offers a path towards a more enlightened and spiritual society. Overall, Miracles and Modern Spiritualism is a fascinating exploration of a controversial and often misunderstood topic. It offers a unique perspective on the intersection of science and spirituality and challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs about the nature of reality.1896.
