Angels, visions and near death encounters - Dale C Allison on whether skeptics can take religious experiences seriously

<p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">From rapturous joy to inexplicable terror, angelic encounters to near death experiences, New Testament scholar Dale Allison has researched a wide range of phenomena in his new book 'Encountering Mystery: Religious Experience in a Secular Age'. He tells of his own experiences and explains why they are more common than many people realise, and why skeptics shouldn't dismiss them out of hand. Justin also brings listener questions from atheists and believers.</p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block"> </p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">For Dale's book 'Encountering Mystery': <a href='https://www.eerdmans.com/Products/8188/encountering-mystery.aspx'>https://www.eerdmans.com/Products/8188/encountering-mystery.aspx</a></p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block"> </p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">• Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: <a href='https://pod.link/267142101'>https://pod.link/267142101</a></p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">• More shows, free eBook & newsletter: <a href='https://premierunbelievable.com/'>https://premierunbelievable.com</a></p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">• For live events: <a href='http://www.unbelievable.live'>http://www.unbelievable.live</a></p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">• For online learning: <a href='https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training-and-events'>https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training-and-events</a></p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">• Support us in the USA: <a href='http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow'>http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow</a></p> <p class="sc-fYHEnZ kZxuMl slate-block">• Support us in the rest of the world: <a href='https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate'>https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate</a></p>
