As one of the first scholars to take near-death experiences seriously, Raymond Moody’s work in this field has proven foundational. In this 1975 book, Moody seeks to catalogue the commonalities of these experiences. Through his work, the general ‘outline’ of a near-death experience is now known, beginning with a buzzing sound as the soul ventures through a long tunnel towards a distant light and ending with the soul’s return to the body. Moody also concludes that his studies on Western patients show remarkable resemblances to the writings of Emmanuel Swedenborg, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Plato’s Dialogues.
