Exploring Near Death Experience

For many years now, I have been interested in Near Death Experience research and its impact upon spirituality and sacred tradition. It is clear that this arena of exploration has yielded immense results in the modern world and is a clear challenge both to the materialist paradigm of the modern world and as well as to some aspects of traditional Christian theology. Below are two links which give new definition to this experience and are worth your reading. The first is an exploration of the research being done today and resistance to it by the modernist paradigms. The second is a first-hand experience by a New Zealander who died and recovered. His experience leads him to a more conservative form of Christianity, but one that still challenges aspects of that perspective.
