Description
Many think that belief in life after death flies in the face of what science has discovered.
Paul Badham explores the grounds on which the hope of immortality, central for Christian doctrine, can be revitalized today.
He suggests that the possibility of a relationship between God and human beings is confirmed by our religious experience, and that resurrection and immortality need each other.
Includes chapters on the evidential value of near-death experiences, concepts of heaven, and arguments against belief in hell.
