Many Christians would not be surprised by this, given the typical dualist anthropology (body and soul), and the eschatological theory prevalent throughout much of Christian history, that at death the soul leaves the body and may be conscious during an intermediate state between death and resurrection. Here are a few outstanding characteristics of NDE's: (1) They result in nearly instantaneous moral transformation; (2) memories of them are vivid and correspond to reports made decades earlier; (3) they contain accurate information of events that could not have otherwise been known by the experiencer around the time of (near) death. [...]it is well known that Christians have struggled for centuries against dualist movements claiming that to be human is to have a soul, and that the ideal state is the liberation of the soul from the body. In The New Scbaff-Heryog Pncyclopedia of Veligious Knowledge there is a clear consensus on a dualist conception of scriptural teaching.1 Yet A Dictionary of the Tibie (1902) contains two sharply opposed views.2 One article on \"Soul\" says that throughout most of the Bible, \"soul\" is simply equivalent to the life embodied in living creatures.3 (This, by the way, comes close to my own view as of 31 years later.).
