In many parts of the contemporary world, spirit beliefs and practices have taken on a pivotal role in addressing the discontinuities and uncertainties of modern life. The myriad ways in which devotees engage the spirit world show the tremendous creative potential of these practices and their innate adaptability to changing times and circumstances. Through in-depth anthropological case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, the contributors to this book investigate the role and impact of different social, political, and economic dynamics in the reconfiguration of local spirit worlds in modern Southeast Asia. Their findings contribute to the re-enchantment debate by revealing that the “spirited modernities” that have emerged in the process not only embody a distinct feature of the contemporary moment, but also invite a critical rethinking of the concept of modernity itself.

This is a new release of the original 1948 edition.

In this day of the revival of “Spiritism,” when no many, through the loss of loved ones in the “Great World War,” are longing to communicate with the dead, and are sorting to forbidden means to that end; a day in which science is trying to discover whether there is another world than this, and whether men live after death, and if so they can they communicate with the living, it seems timely that a book should be written to show what the Holy Scriptures have revealed of the “World of Spirits.” The Bible has much to say about the “Spirit World,” and if we will carefully search its pages we shall know all there is to be known in this life of the “World to Come.” For if men will not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded though one rose or came back from the dead. Luk 16:31. This book covers all phases of the “Spirit World.” It treats of the “Powers of Good and Evil,” of “The Under-world,” of “Satan,” the “Fallen Angels,” “Demonism,” the “Intermediate State,” and of Heaven and Hell, as well as the “Resurrection of the Body,” and the “Judgments” of the Righteous and Wicked. The prayer of the Author is that the Holy Spirit will use the book to free those who are entrapped in the net of “Spiritism,” and cause the curious and sorrowing to turn to the “Word of God” for help, and the answer to their questioning. This classic includes the following chapters: I. The Spirit World II. The Tri-Unity of God III. Satan IV. The Fallen Angels V. Demonism VI. The Underworld VII. The Spirits in Prison VIII. Natural Law in the Spirit World IX. The Relation of the Spirit World to the Natural World X. Man’s Relation to the Spirit-World XI. Soul Sleep XII. The Intermediate State XIII. Recognition and Relationship in the Spirit World XIV. The Final State XV. The Abolition of Death XVI. Spirit Transformation XVII. The Resurrection XVIII. The Resurrection Body XIX. The Judgments
