What Happens When We Die?

 

Published by Kingsway 1995 and Campus Evangelical Press 1999 and 2002

 

What happens when we die? Many have sought the answer to this question. For me it became an important issue  when a close friend died – and I found that my get-on-with-it philosophy of life suddenly didn’t work any more: what if her cancer had been mine? The foundations of my successful life suddenly seemed very shaky. My friend was a Christian, and her peace was in sharp contrast to my distress. We talked about it. After her death I began a search for the answer to the meaning of life – where had she got her peace from, and was it real or illusory? At the time I was studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, and I began my investigation in the way I knew best: I started to read. I looked at the beliefs of past societies, at the teaching of the major contemporary world religions, at the evidence offered by science and the paranormal, at reincarnation, at the teaching of the prophets of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Mormonism, and at the historical evidence for the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book ends by looking at what Jesus taught about life after death.

 

I concluded that of all the possible explanations of life and death, that offered by Christianity is the most coherent and compelling. It led me, up to that point an atheist, to place my faith in Jesus. This is the book I'd have liked to read to help me in my search.
