A thoughtful book that ultimately over-reaches itself,
By A Customer
This review is from: Light And Death (Paperback)
Michael Sabom is a serious researcher and this book is frequently well-argued, thoughTful and touching upon key issues related to Near Death Experiences. At times his remarks about NDEs, informed as they are by his medical knowledge, are fascinating.It is when Mr Sabom tried to connect his clinical and medical knowledge to his Christian views that I found his arguments unpersuasive. For example, the author doesn't refer to, and seems unaware of, the fact that the Essenes (an influential early Christian sect) believed in re-incarnation, and it was the church which later altered the Bible so that it would exclude all suggestions that reincarnation occurs. Again the author seems unaware of the work of Jane Roberts (and Seth) so that the breadth and depth of his discussion of the nature of physical reality appeared to me relatively shallow. In sum Mr Sabom is strikingly old-fashioned in his religious views and this restricted world view irretrievably taints the conclusions that an otherwise thoughful book draws.

The word is Zondervan,
This review is from: Light And Death (Paperback)
I don't want to rehash the thoughtful comments of the other reviewers... I saw a TV special about one of the people included in the book and that led me to buy the book... I neglected to note the publisher, Zondervan, an evangelical Christian publisher....that in itself lets the reader know where the author is going with his research. As a nurse I have been priviledged to hear such accounts first-hand; regardless of the ultimate nature of this human experience, one cannot avoid being deeply touched...what is saddening to me is that such experiences then become the 'battleground' for belief systems that are uncomfortable with mystery, and a rather small minded claim on knowing the 'truth' for the rest of us!

I was generally disapointed in "Light and Death".,
By A Customer
This review is from: Light And Death (Paperback)
This book is written from the perspective of a conservitive Christian with extensive knowledge and access to NDEs. Scripture is used to interpret NDEs. When NDEs agree with the Bible, they become prof that the scriptures are inerrant and when NDEs don't, it is because evil has tainted the experience. Purely from a Christian point of view.. Not recommended for those looking for a more universal or balanced perspective.
