NDEs: NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES AS EVIDENCE: Resources for Study

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) are an under utilized and under appreciated evidence for the Christian worldview. Unfortunately, both Christians and unbelievers tend to quickly throw out knee jerk responses without seriously considering the evidence. Here are some resources for looking at that evidence more closely.

*Habermas, Gary. Dr. Habermas is one of the few expert apologists who is making a serious investigation into the evidence of NDEs. This link will take you to a long list of audios on Dr. Habermas's site. There are several on Near Death Experiences. The easiest way to find them is to use the "Find" function in your browser and enter the word "near." I believe 

there are eight different listings for NDEs (most having more than one session).

*J. Steve Miller. Author of Near-Death Experiences as Evidence for God and Heaven interviewed by Nick Peters on the Deeper Waters podcast.

*Kubler-Ross, Elizabeth. On Life after Death. Celestial Arts: Berkeley, California, 1991. Though not a Christian (which is reflected in her new age interpretation of the evidence), Dr. Kubler-Ross is one of the foremost experts on the issue of death and dying. Summary of the essay "Living and Dying" (chapter 1 of the book) found inside the front cover: "After studying more than 20,000 people who have had near-death experiences, Dr. Kubler-Ross has discovered that they report remarkably similar experiences--regardless of the subjects' age, religious background, or nationality."
