"Christopher Moreman has provided scholars with an invaluable compilation of material that will allow future authors to attempt a more cohesive portrayal of Spiritualism than has to date been published in any single-volume history." - Journal of the Society for Psychical Research"I can attest to the level of serious scholarship offered. This is the first academic treatment of Spiritualism of this magnitude, ever. . . . Christopher Moreman is to be commended on the enormous effort that has gone into completion of this ground-breaking anthology that is sure to raise discussion of Spiritualism within academia and its inclusion within religious studies. . . . For Spiritualist churches, and university and other libraries specializing in religious studies, psychical research, or anomalies, Christopher Moreman's anthology should be a mandatory acquisition." - Psypioneer Journal
