A profound and fascinating exploration of death and the afterlife!
Christian and other religious beliefs, rituals from around the
world, quests for immortality, scientists' conclusions, ghosts, and
more! What happens when we die? Many view it as a mystery, but
there are tantalizing clues to be found in the Bible and other
religious scriptures, scientific findings, historical writings,
literature, reports of near-death experiences, and in many other
recorded sources. Facing the contradictions and similarities of
beliefs from all over the world and throughout history, The
Afterlife Book: Heaven, Hell, and Life After Death shows how death
and the afterlife is viewed in a variety of different ways. This
engrossing guide looks at the many competing views of the
afterlife-and the shared connections between them, including ...
Where ideas of Heaven and Hell came from and why they endure. What
happens during near death experiences and out of body experiences,
What is known about reincarnation and immortality. How death is
linked to ghosts and apparitions, mediumship, and spiritualism. How
the quest for immortality and transhumanism may play a role in one
day ending death. How science and spirituality can often say the
same thing-only in different languages and terminologies. How death
and the dead have been celebrated, memorialized, and honored in the
past and present. What happens to the human body just before,
during, and immediately after physical death. What happens to the
cells, tissues, heart, and brain as a result of the physical
process of dying and decomposition. How burial and cremation
traditions, rites, rituals, and controversies address consciousness
and the existence of a soul. What religious leaders, philosophers,
and scientists have to say about consciousness and the soul.
Whether animals and pets have souls. Is death just a mysterious
phase in our journey? Does it lead to Heaven (or Hell)? Is it
reincarnation or simply eternal blackness and unconsciousness? Do
we continue to exist in some form or other beyond our physical
bodies? The Afterlife Book tackles these questions and gives us all
hope that our lives do not come to an end but change like the
natural cycles of birth, life, death, and rebirth! It's many photos
and illustrations help bring the text to life, and its helpful
bibliography and extensive index add to its usefulness.
