520 1 $a"Beyond the Threshold examines the afterlife through the lens of both world religions and metaphysical experiences, Christopher M. Moreman includes an introduction to the afterlife beliefs of ancient culture, which are essential to understanding the roots of many modern ideas about death. He examines the folklore and doctrines of major world religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. He also discusses psychic phenomena across traditions, such as mediums, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and past-life memories. While ultimately the afterlife remains unknowable, Moreman's unique in-depth exploration of both beliefs and experiences can help readers reach their own understanding of the afterlife and how to live."--BOOK JACKET.
