On the one hand are the writers who, having heard the evidence at first hand, believe implicitly in the facts and place upon them the unwarranted construction that those facts were due to supernatural power; on the other hand are the writers who, taking the evidence on hearsay and disbelieving the conclusions drawn by their opponents, deny the facts in toto. Both parties believed with equal firmness in a personal Devil, and both supported their arguments with quotations from the Bible. But as the believers were able to bring forward more texts than the unbelievers and had in their hands an unanswerable argument in the Witch of Endor, the unbelievers, who dared not contradict the Word of God, were forced to fall back on the theory that the witches suffered from hallucination, hysteria, and, to use the modern word, 'auto-suggestion'. These two classes still persist, the sceptic predominating. Between the believer who believed everything and the unbeliever who disbelieved everything there has been no critical examination of the evidence, which presents a new and untouched field of research to the student of comparative religion., 59, Reference, 276598, Almanacs & Yearbooks, 276601, Atlases & Maps, 714384, Consumer Guides, 276818, Dictionaries & Thesauri, 714396, Directories, 276857, Encyclopaedias, 276881, Etiquette, 277003, Fun Facts & Trivia, 277007, Genealogy, 277027, Language, 277016, Library & Information Sciences, 516710, Obituaries, 714378, Other Reference By Subject, 277070, Publishing & Books, 277075, Quotations, 16224601, Research Methods, 277076, Transport, 277126, Writing, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 276412, Anthropology, 496628, Customs & Folklore, 276456, Ethnography & Ethnology, 275944, Festivals & Celebrations, 496632, Methodology, 276415, Physical, 276413, Social & Cultural, 276411, Social Sciences, 60, Society, Politics & Philosophy, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<
