Description

The Dead Have Never Died is a book by Edward C. Randall, first published in 1917. This work is a foundational text in early 20th-century Spiritualist literature, presenting the author's conviction — based on years of involvement in séances and mediumistic communication — that life continues after physical death. Randall argues that consciousness survives and that the so-called dead can and do communicate with the living. The book blends personal accounts with philosophical reflections on immortality, the nature of the soul, and the moral responsibilities that come with spiritual knowledge. It contributed to the popular interest in spiritualism during a period marked by war, loss, and a search for meaning beyond material existence.
