Description
The Next World: Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife Historian of religions Gregory Shushan explores the connections between extraordinary experiences and beliefs in life after death. He examines how near-death experiences have influenced ideas about the afterlife throughout history and around the world. Shushan also investigates the similarities and differences between NDE accounts, as well as their cultural responses and integration into belief systems. Shushan draws on his research into cross-cultural afterlife beliefs and extraordinary experiences to shed new light on these phenomena. By combining ideas and methods from archaeology, anthropology, sociology, and the study of religions, he offers a unique perspective on the issues. This book presents an accessible overview of Shushan's work, as well as a bold new approach to psychical research.
