Summary: "The Inner Life" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a collection of essays and meditations likely written in the mid-19th century. The book explores profound themes surrounding spirituality, the nature of good and evil, and the human soul's relationship to the Divine. Whittier delves into the origins of evil, illustrating the historical and philosophical contexts within which these concepts have been perceived, as well as the moral implications of faith. At the start of "The Inner Life," the author contemplates the dark mystery of evil, posing the question of its origin amidst the complexities of human existence. He critiques contemporary attitudes toward traditional beliefs about demonic influences and witchcraft, contrasting them with deeper spiritual inquiries that have persisted throughout history.
