16 Gary Habermas Interview: The Enigma of Near Death Experiences

In this episode, James Walker and Daniel Ray interview Dr. Gary Habermas, Distinguished Research Professor of Apologetics and Philosophy at Liberty University. The conversation explores some of the mysteries and controversy surrounding Near Death Experiences (NDE).

Dr. Habermas is a Christian apologist who is recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He has also studied the phenomena of NDE – human consciousness and awareness experienced in subjects during clinical death followed by resuscitation. This podcast unpacks some of the latest developments in the emerging field of NDE studies and address some provocative questions, including: 

• What is Near Death Experience?


• Is the field of NDE studies somehow related to resurrection scholarship?


• Can virtually all NDE accounts be explained by either hallucination or fraud?


• While most NDEs are “unevidenced,” what are some documented examples of “evidenced”      NDE reports?


• How trustworthy and consistent are the “evidenced” NDE accounts that are being documented in the current literature?
