NDEs and the blind -- The RERC study -- Building bridges or fighting wars? Religion, spirituality and the future of near-death studies.This dramatic and sustained response to decades of research into near-death experiences (NDEs) is the first book to credibly bridge the gap between the competing factions of science and spirituality. Neither a religious argument touting NDEs as hard evidence for God, nor a scientific rebuke to religious interpretations, it balances investigation of these much-reported yet baffling phenomena, and brings fresh urgency to the study of our hopes for a life beyond.Near-death experiencesReligious aspectsNear-death experiencesReligious aspects.133.9/01/377.92bcl02.50bclFox Mark1962-1865141MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953379003321Religion, spirituality, and the near-death experience4472180UNINA
