Collective scourges and personal scourges in the light of Spiritism


A doctrinal analysis of the scourges that affect the human creature, either collectively or individually, is the subject of the article entitled “Don't go down!”, authored by our collaborator Andres Gustavo Arruda, from Caxias do Sul (RS). What purpose does the Creator have in reaching humanity through so-called destructive scourges? This and many other relevant issues to the topic make up the Special, one of the highlights of this edition.


Another highlight is the interview given to us by Professor Ailton Santos Caetano, from Ribeira do Pombal (BA). With a degree and bachelor's degree in Physical Education, with a Full Degree in Pedagogy and a postgraduate degree in Higher Education Teaching and in Sociology and Philosophy, our interviewee is the current president of the Joanna de Ângelis Spiritist Society and a member of the Spiritist Union of Ribeira do Pombal.


This week marked another anniversary of the launch – which took place on August 1, 1865 – of the book Heaven and Hell or Divine Justice according to Spiritism, by Allan Kardec. Published a year after the book The Gospel According to Spiritism, it is the fourth book of the so-called Kardequian Pentateuch, whose main objective is to explain how divine justice is and how it works.
