This book, the second in the series, continues the journey, examining the many imaginings of the Devil, a shapeshifter, constantly being redefined, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and the gift of tongues, acknowledging the inherent difficulties in objectively verifying such phenomena, and delving deeper into the potential presence of spirit in not only humans, but animals, and ostensibly inanimate objects, such as mountains and rivers. From the Dreaming of the Australian Aboriginals to the Andes' Pachamama, and the animistic beliefs of North America and Mesoamerica, we examine diverse spiritual traditions that illuminate the interconnectedness of all things, both animate and inanimate. The intent is not to present definitive answers but to engage in a thoughtful examination of theological, and philosophical perspectives, and a critical analysis of anecdotal and scientific evidence.
