on BBC Radio 4 FM

I came to in a place I can only describe as heaven, and I felt more truly alive than ever I'd done before. I recognised Christ by the print of the nails in his hands ... I was on the stab in the hospital. I sat up and the mortuary attendant nearly fainted.
Bernard Jackson has spoken to four people who are convinced that they died and came back to life. All were once declared medically dead. only to be revived against all the odds. and they returned with stories of what they insist was a glimpse of an afterlife. But are they to be believed? Is there a medical or psychological explanation for their experiences or can they really tell us something about religion and death?
