Life After Death

Rating:
Summary: Credible, lucid, fascinating
Review: Harpur, a faith and values columnist for the Toronto Star, tackles one of those subjects with no definitive answer and does so with clarity and thoroughness. An Anglican minister and former professor of Greek and New Testament, he examines everything from near-death experiences and reincarnation to the Bible and what other faiths have to say on the subject of life after death. On top of that, he spends an entire chapter on what was then (1991) the latest from the world of science. In the end, Harpur concludes "to trust there there is a life after death is to trust God. It is to trust that the ultimate energy at the foundations of the universe is love." If you've read the book that far, you'll likely agree. Just note, however, this most definitely is NOT a book meant for fundamentalists of any faith. But it is very, very readable and informative.

Summary: A fascinating and convincing book
Review: Tom Harpur is very convincing in his case for the possibility a hereafter. With great insight and evidence, he succeeds in clarifying much of what is misunderstood about Christ, the Bible and the apostles. This is the best book I have read on this subject. Harpur's evidence is both scientific and philosophical. The lucid Mr. Harpur has done more to convince me than anyone else.
