Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Identity of Primitive Christianity and Modern Spiritualism V1"" by Eugene Crowell explores the similarities between the early Christian church and the modern spiritualist movement. The author draws upon historical and theological research to argue that both movements share common beliefs and practices, such as the belief in the existence of spirits and the ability to communicate with them. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the comparison between primitive Christianity and modern spiritualism. The author also provides insights into how these similarities can help us understand the development of Christianity and the spiritualist movement, as well as their relevance for contemporary religious and spiritual practices. Overall, this book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between Christianity and spiritualism, making it a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the history and philosophy of religion.1875.

At first it was the author's intention to elucidate the character of the different gifts enumerated by St. Paul, as understood by eminent commentators and writers on the Bible; and then to have shown how they are viewed by Christian Spiritualists; but this design was found to be of such magnitude that the limits of this work would not admit of it. For this reason, the design was abandoned, and he now presents the simple texts, and, with few exceptions, does not quote Church authorities upon them, nor attempt any extended inquiries, but accept their meaning in the light that modern Spiritualism views them. This renders the plan of the work more simple; less controversial; and the author believes it will prove more acceptable to the general reader.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
