Synopsis

Death comes to us all – but what happens after that? Forced to face up to the inevitability of death, Alison Morgan decided to take a critical look at all the views on offer. This book offers a clear account of her journey and helps us to form our own conclusions on this most difficult of questions. Starting with ancient ideas on death and the afterlife, the book explores the teaching of the major world religions, considers near-death, psychic and paranormal experiences, and examines the case for reincarnation. The strengths of the various religious claims are then tested by reference to the character of the prophets of each tradition, and this is followed by a summary of the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Alison, who had begun her journey as an atheist, brings everything together by sharing her decision to place her faith in the Christian hope – it is, she concludes, the only one which seems to stand up to rigorous examination. Originally published in both English and Chinese, What Happens When We Die? has helped thousands of people to find a new and life-changing confidence as they face up to the reality of death. This new, updated edition is published by The Mathetes Trust. Alison Morgan holds a PhD from Cambridge University for her research on the medieval representation of the afterlife. Ordained into the Anglican Church in 1996, she served for many years in parish ministry. She now works for The Mathetes Trust, where she oversees the Rooted in Jesus discipleship programme for Africa. Alison is the author of many books and publications, and is best known for her book The Wild Gospel.
