	Supernatural -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In essence, the world is seen as operating according to natural law "normally," until a force external to nature (such as (The supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe; the object of worship in monotheistic religions) God) interferes.
		Some of modern biblical scholarship is based on the assumption that the supernatural does not exist, or that God is far less involved in the world than commonly supposed ((The form of theological rationalism that believes in God on the basis of reason without reference to revelation) deism).
		Often, the non-material element is referred to as the soul, the "vital spark," or a kind of energy.

		The ancient world was given to Pantheism and creature-worship; Israel only, not because of its "monotheistic instinct" (Renan), but because of the periodic interposition of God through His prophets, resisted in the main the general tendency to idolatry.
		It was not presented full-grown to the world, but left to develop in accordance with the forces and tendencies that were implanted in it form the first by its Founder.
		The Jews rejected Christ in spite of the evidence of prophecy and miracle; the world rejects the Church of Christ, the "city set upon a hill", conspicuous though she be through the notes that proclaim her Divine.

		Mather explained in Wonders of the Invisible World (his 1692 treatise which was intended as a defense of the Court of Oyer and Terminer):
		Wonders of the Invisible World emerged in 1692 as a curious collection of stories about the afflicted girls of Salem, accounts of the trials of several accused witches, and admonitions to the reader not to doubt the reliability of either the evidence or Cotton’s account of the situation.
		Physical evidence, at least in the form of "witches’ marks" and other "proof" of a person’s communion with the Devil, was similarly unreliable: "I wonder what person there is, whether man or woman, of whom it cannot be said but that, in some part of their body or other, there is a preternatural excrescence.

	Review \| The Wonders of the Invisible World
		In his first short-story collection, The Wonders of the Invisible World, David Gates turns his keen observational powers, honed in two novels (Jernigan and Preston Falls) and a critic's career at Newsweek, on the class of Manhattan professionals he knows best: writers, graphic designers, filmmakers -- successful, creative people mostly in their late-30s and 40s.
		Gates likes to explore motivation and unseen drives -- the "invisible world" -- and his characters' inner dialogue is often livelier and more revealing than anything they say.
		David Gates is interested in the distance between the inner and outer worlds, between emotion and thought, between the heart and the head.

	Adrift in the Sea of Adulthood / David Gates' characters are at once self-aware and self-destructive
		What these people share is a sense of living at the crossroads, of existing at the instant when illusions can no longer sustain them, yet the patterns of their lives are simply too ingrained to break.
		Mostly, though, ``The Wonders of the Invisible World'' finds a balance between the apparently aimless dissatisfactions of its protagonists and Gates' own narrative focus, giving the book a tension all its own.
		It's no coincidence that Gates closes ``The Wonders of the Invisible World'' with such an expression of ambivalence, for these moments have always been at the heart of his work.

	Robert Calef, More Wonders Invisible World, Introduction
		It is unlikely that anybody would have thought of the son but for a note copied into one of the memorandum-books of Dr. Jeremy Belknap (1744-1798).
		This note, of unknown source reads: "Robert Calef, author of `More Wonders of the Invisible World,' printed at London in 1700, was a native of England; a young man of good sense, and free from superstition; a merchant in Boston.
		It remains only to testify to the care and exactness which all comparison of his work with the records seems to show, and to remark that to a student of the literature of witchcraft it is evident that his reading is larger than he cares to parade.

		The author of "Wonders of the Invisible World" picks five great literary walk-ons.

		Perhaps Cotton's most self-damning act within the public eye was his publication of the volume The Wonders of the Invisible World, in October, 1692, after the final executions.
		Robert Calef, author of More Wonders of the Invisible World, published a very different account than Mather's that put Cotton on the defensive for the rest of his life.

		The first planters of these colonies were a chosen generation of men who were first so pure as to disrelish many things which they thought wanted reformation elsewhere, and yet withal so peaceable that they embraced a voluntary exile in a squalid, horrid, American desert rather than to live in contentions with their brethren.
		Those two things, our elders and our happy advantages, make omissions of duty, and such spiritual disorders as the whole world abroad is overwhelmed with, to be as provoking in us as the most flatigious [Shamefull, villainous] wickedness committed in other places; and the ministers of God are accordingly severe in their testimonies.
		But in short, those interests of the gospel, which were the errand of our fathers into these ends of the earth, have been too much neglected and postponed, and the attainments of an handsome education have been too much undervalued by the multitudes that have now fallen into exorbitances of wickedness.
