Table turning and other spiritualist challenges to the science of religionReviews'In this insightful book, Anne Kalvig studies spiritualism - communication with the dead. In spite of spiritualism being very visible in the contemporary world, and one of the elementary forms of the religious life, it has not been much researched. Kalvig illuminates the diversity of this practice and combines the perspectives of interpretation and explanation in an exciting and fruitful way.' - Ingvild Saelid Gilhus, University of Bergen, Norway 'This is the first thorough study of modern spiritualism/spiritism from a Religious Studies perspective. A long neglected subject, this is a very important book, covering the phenomenon historically as well as next to all contemporary aspects. A brilliant book.' - Liselotte Frisk, Dalarna University, Sweden Author InformationAnne Kalvig is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Stavanger, Norway.
