THE GOSPEL
ACCORDING TO SPIRITISM
by Allan Kardec

Contains explanations of the moral maxims of Christ in accordance with Spiritism and their application in various circumstances in life.

Author of THE SPIRITS’ BOOK

Unshakable faith is only that which can meet reason face to face in every Human epoch.

This English translation is taken from the 3rd edition of the original French, as being the one containing all of Allan Kardec’s final revisions, published in 1866.

The Gospel According to Spiritism (L'Évangile Selon le Spiritisme in French), by Allan Kardec is a book published in 1864 that relates the teachings of Jesus to Kardecist Spiritism, the moral and religious philosophy that Kardec had been publishing. It is intended to demonstrate that Spiritism clarifies and extends the most important teachings of Jesus. It is one of the five fundamental works of Kardecist Spiritism.

The book attracted a lot of reaction from the Catholic Church and was indexed (added to the 'List of Prohibited Books'). The first edition had been titled Imitation de l'Évangile (An Imitation of the Gospels), but the third, and definitive edition (1865) had the book renamed and profusely corrected (mostly typos or supposed mistakes in channeling), edited and expanded.
