The real role of Allan Kardec in structuring the spiritist doctrine

 

The theme above is the central point of the interview given to us by the confrere Luís Jorge Lira Neto, a native of the Alagoas city of Pilar, currently based in Recife (PE). With a degree in Electrical Engineering and a postgraduate degree in Finance and a master's degree in Economics, he participates, in spiritist activities, in the House of Humbles Spiritist Association, in Recife, in which he works as an Institutional Communication advisor. In the interview, he tells us, among other things, about his research on Kardec's work. The article is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the final part of the special “Mental disorders in childhood: what Spiritists should know”, written by columnist and physician Ricardo Baesso de Oliveira, from Juiz de Fora (MG). In the article, as we saw in the previous edition, the author presents and comments on excerpts from interviews and presentations on the subject made by the physician Tais Silveira Moriyama, PhD in Psychiatry in childhood and adolescence and director of Barraial Psychiatry Institute, in Itapira (SP).

On Wednesday, the 30th, EVOC – Virtual Publisher of The Comforter published the e-book Initiation to the Spiritist Doctrine: 2 - Moral laws according to Spiritism, by Astolfo Olegário de Oliveira Filho.
