Book Description:
|
Possessed persons often speak in the name of a god, demand burnt offerings, and go into convulsions if refused. Stories of these tell-tale signs of demonic possession collected by missionaries and Chinese Christian converts, form the basis of this 1894 work of religious nonfiction. William James praised this work as a stepping-stone towards explaining mental pathologies.
