The Truth About Spiritualism

About this book

Can the dead return, and can anyone prove it? Physician William J. Bryan addressed those questions in a book that openly defended Spiritualism at a time when the movement attracted both devoted followers and determined critics.

Published in New York in 1918, The Truth About Spiritualism presents the author's case for survival after death and the possibility of spirit communication. Its confident arguments belong to a period when grieving families were also reading about mediums, automatic writing and séances. The book offers a contemporary believer's perspective on the controversy, with its claims left for the reader to weigh.
