Divination

By Alexander Balmain Bruce

Book Overview

""Divination"" is a philosophical and historical exploration of the practice of divination, written by Alexander Balmain Bruce. The book delves into the various forms of divination, including astrology, necromancy, and the use of oracles, and examines their historical and cultural significance. Bruce argues that divination has played an important role in human history, as a means of seeking guidance and understanding from the divine. He also explores the relationship between divination and religion, and the ways in which divination has been both embraced and condemned by various religious traditions.
