Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle three huge questions in this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything. Can near-death experiences offer genuine glimpses of heaven or hell, or should Christians be cautious about building theology on them? Tom explores what the Bible says about death, resurrection and the mysterious intermediate state, while Mike raises the provocative question of whether hell is actually occupied yet.
They also ask whether Jesus has always been the Son of God, or whether his sonship began at his incarnation, baptism or resurrection, and consider whether the doctrine of the Trinity is truly biblical.
Finally, did Satan understand Jesus’ mission and try to prevent the cross? Tom and Mike explore temptation, spiritual warfare, the defeat of the dark powers and what Satan’s attempts to derail Jesus might mean for Christians today.
Continue exploring the evidence for life beyond death with two fascinating *Unbelievable?* conversations. In **Proof of the afterlife?**, John Burke and neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander examine whether near-death experiences may offer genuine evidence of an afterlife: premierunbelievable.com/unbelievable/unbelievable-proof-of-the-afterlife-john-burke-and-dr-eben-alexander-md-hosted-by-billy-hallowell/17624.article
And in **Do consciousness and near-death experiences point to an afterlife?**, Sharon Dirckx and Emily Qureshi-Hurst debate whether NDEs are best understood as evidence of something beyond the brain, or as part of the mystery of human consciousness: premierunbelievable.com/unbelievable/do-consciousness-and-near-death-experiences-point-to-an-afterlife-sharon-dirckx-vs-emily-qureshi-hurst/16028.article
