(S5 E4) Philosophical Implications of NDEs

By: Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo | November 7, 2021

On the final episode of a four-part journey into NDEs, Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo explore the philosophical implications of near-death experiences and what they hold for a person’s worldview. They first review the objections given against NDEs from episode 3 and the ASK acrostic (Analogies, Scriptural Priority, and Keep Essential Truths).

Then, they dive into the proofs given by near-death experiences. They note how materialism is decimated and the immaterial self is validated by the existence of near-death experiences. Listen to this exciting conclusion to our mini-series on NDEs.
