After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond

Bruce Greyson

Psychiatrist Bruce Greyson reviews decades of research and clinical encounters involving near-death experiences, including recurring reports of leaving the body, altered time, light, beings, life review, peace, and lasting changes in values. He considers neurological, psychological, and survival interpretations while arguing that the reports deserve disciplined study rather than automatic dismissal.

Surprised by Hope

N. T. Wright

New Testament scholar N. T. Wright argues that Christian hope centers on bodily resurrection and God's renewal of creation rather than souls escaping earth for a distant heaven. He traces resurrection in Scripture and early Christianity, then connects future hope with worship, justice, beauty, mission, and public responsibility in the present.
