Divine Encounters in Near-Death Experiences

This chapter investigates the appearances of various religious figures during near-death experiences (NDEs), emphasizing the prevalence of encounters with Jesus compared to figures like Buddha and Muhammad. It also examines how cultural backgrounds influence the interpretation of these experiences and discusses statistical findings that challenge common assumptions about the role of religious imagery in NDEs. Additionally, the chapter addresses the impact of NDEs on individual faith, revealing that such experiences may often bolster traditional religious beliefs rather than diminish them.
