Christopher M. Moreman is assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at California State University, East Bay, where he teaches courses in comparative religion.
Beyond the Threshold presents valuable summaries of two distinct
and important bodies of material: an overview of how major world
religions view the afterlife, and modern empirical research on
paranormal experiences that might be seen to confirm or disprove
the afterlife beliefs found in religion. Christopher M. Moreman
analyzes this unique pairing of material in a balanced and
respectful manner, opening up space for discussion about the
intriguing interplay between traditional views of the afterlife and
paranormal experiences.--Lucy Bregman, Temple University
Christopher M. Moreman has written a useful, wide-ranging book on
death and dying that should be a valuable resource in courses or
for general readers. It is comprehensive, covering both
perspectives in the world religions and investigations in
contemporary research on experiences of the afterlife, and
insightful in its comparative emphasis on beliefs and phenomena.
This text makes an important contribution to the literature on
religion, death, and dying.--Gary Laderman, Emory University
