Edgar Cayce in Context by K Paul Johnson
Although the medical readings provide intriguing evidence for Cayce's ESP, his clairvoyant time travel illustrates the fallibility of information derived through hypnotic trance. The author contends that the contents of the readings reflect the knowledge and interests of their recipients as much as Cayce's personal opinions and beliefs. This is the first book to focus solely on appraising the entire body of the Cayce readings from a scholarly perspective.-

"Edgar Cayce is caught between uncritical admirers and dogmatic skepticsThe scholarly world will benefit from this knowledgeable and even-handed treatment of Cayce.
