Synopsis

Begun in 1994, The Atlanta Study is the first comprehensive investigation of its kind into near-death experiences (NDEs). The study's name hardly captures what lies behind it: life-and-death dramas played out in operating rooms and hospital beds--and simultaneous events unseen by medical personnel but reported with astonishing clarity and conviction by nearly 50 individuals who returned from death's door. Now the founder of The Atlanta Study, Dr. Michael Sabom reveals their impact on the people who have experienced them. From both medical and personal perspectives, he shares the electrifying stories of men and women from all walks of life and religious persuasions. He explores the clinical effect of the NDE on survival and healing and discloses surprising findings. He questions some common conclusions about NDEs. And he scrutinizes near-death experiences in the light of what the Bible has to say about death and dying, the realities of light and darkness, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Lots of good material, both in the history of NDE research up until the 1990's and in relating the Pam Reynolds and other Atlanta Study cases. Some of his metaphysical conclusions are unsatisfactory. While I like his approach of likening the NDE to "general revelation" which can be taken in differen......more

Goodreads review by cindabella on February 23, 2022

This was a book that explored near death experiences (NDE’s) through the lens of a medical doctor who attempted to analyse the findings in a scientific way, using a Christian perspective. Some of what I learned in this book was a bit scary, especially the parts about diagnosing death. It talks about......more

Goodreads review by Randall O. on August 13, 2020

This is my second time reading this book. Thus far, it is the best Christian and scientifically-based work of NDE research I've come across. Would love to see the author do a new edition with new case studies from the last two decades. Fascinating evidence for the existence of the soul!......more
