Spirit Identity: Higher Aspects of Spiritualism

About this book

A spirit at a séance may give a name, remember an incident or display a familiar personality. But how could anyone know who, or what, is actually speaking?

Writing as M. A. (Oxon.), William Stainton Moses explores the problem of spirit identity from within the movement that made it so urgent. He considers communications, evidence and the moral implications of supposed contact with the dead. Moses was himself an influential medium, so his account brings a participant's conviction to questions that remain difficult to settle.
