This comprehensive work will help readers parse the mysteries of this uniquely American religion through three thematically organized volumes: \u003ci\u003eSpiritualism in the U.S. and Globally\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEvidence and Beliefs\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCultural and Social Issues\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on fields as diverse as psychology, sociology, religious studies, anthropology, history, ethnic and gender studies, literature, and art, this broad-based collection frames Spiritualism through the views of a team of international scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the many things that separate Spiritualism from mainstream religions is the involvement of women in central leadership roles. Such cultural and political elements of the movement are one aspect of this study. Of equal interest to believers and skeptics alike will be the work of scholars who have devoted themselves to examining the claim that communication through mediums proves the existence of life after death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher M.
