The first edition in English of German writer Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling's (1740-1817) exploration of Pneumatology, the discipline within Christian theology centred on the analysis of the nature of the Holy Spirit, and more broadly the connection between material and spiritual existence.
The author of many mystical-pietistic works, Jung-Stilling here concerns himself with discovering tangible and infallible evidence of manifestations originating from the spiritual realm. In the introduction, he purports to show that 'amongst a thousand dreams, deceptions, fables, and fantastic tales, there still continue to be some true and undeniable presentiments, visions, and apparitions of spirits, with which Satan and his angels have nothing to do.'
