In My Religion, Arthur Conan Doyle strips away the cloak of the detective novelist to speak candidly, passionately, and profoundly about the spiritual beliefs that defined his later years. Far beyond fiction, this autobiographical essay serves as a deeply personal declaration of faith-his unwavering belief in spiritualism as a legitimate and necessary evolution of religious thought. Addressing skeptics and seekers alike, Doyle recounts the experiences, revelations, and convictions that led him away from traditional Christianity and into a world of spirit communication, séances, and metaphysical exploration. With the earnestness of a true believer and the clarity of a seasoned writer, Doyle defends his controversial position not as a fringe obsession but as a vital spiritual awakening. My Religion is an illuminating, courageous document of belief from one of the most famous literary minds of his time.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish author, physician, and spiritualist best known for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where his storytelling talent began to emerge alongside his scientific education. Though initially practicing as a doctor, Doyle turned to writing to support himself, eventually achieving worldwide fame with the publication of A Study in Scarlet in 1887. Beyond detective fiction, he explored historical novels, science fiction, and supernatural themes, notably in the Professor Challenger series. A passionate advocate for justice, he was involved in several real-life legal investigations. In his later years, Doyle became deeply involved in spiritualism, dedicating much of his time and writings to life after death. His legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in literary history.
