Reviews for A Philosophical Critique of Empirical Arguments for Postmortem Survival (Palgrave Frontiers in Philosophy of Religion)
'Michael Sudduth has produced a ground-breaking work - original, nuanced, empirically comprehensive, and conceptually sophisticated. It sheds new light on the confusions and superficiality dominating the literature on postmortem survival, and is a major contribution to survival research.' -Stephen Braude, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Maryland, USA
