Reviews

This is a terribly exciting book and, potentially, a very important one... [a] wonderful book Jeffrey J. Kripal, Religion a clear, up to date and excellently resourced investigation which is very ballanced... This book that I am sure that I shall return to again and again as both a stimulating read and as a research tool. Peggy Morgan, Bulletin of the British Association for the Study of Religions Marshall has produced an important, careful book that deserves to be widely read by students of psychology, philosophy, religion, and anomalous experience. Matt Colborn, Journal of the Society for Psychical Research
