About this ebook
Death - and what lies beyond - is not something you consider every day. But the thought of it raises some intriguing questions:
Are there good reasons for believing in life after death?
What is the afterlife like?
How valid are the reports of near death experiences?
Do heaven and hell exist?
And if so, how can hell be reconciled with a loving God?
By sharing the very latest scientific, philosophical, anthropological, ethical, and theological evidence on life after death, noted Christian scholars Habermas and Moreland present a strong case for immortality with this book.
They begin by taking up the question of whether life after death is real and what evidence supports its reality. They then explore what the afterlife is like and go on to show how having this reality in your future should affect the way you live here and now.
This book will reassure you that there's no need to fear death - as long as you're prepared eternity that follows. It's also a great aid in developing a serious biblical, rational, and even scientific defense for the belief in life beyond the grave.
