Is there life after death? Do heaven and hell exist? Paul Badham, a leading authority in research on death and near-death experiences, argues that belief in immortality is essential to the coherence of Christian doctrine and worship. In Making Sense of Death and Immortality, Badham accomplishes three things: he links the extensive historical evidence for Jesus’ resurrection with the Christian hope of life after death, examines what religious and near-death experiences tell us about our relationship with God, and he explains religious objections to belief in hell and outlines ways in which the hope of heaven is articulated today. This engaging book effectively encapsulates arguments for and against a belief in the afterlife and helps us to make sense of death and what is to come.
