AFTER ATHEISM

By (author)DAVID C. LEWIS

 12,340

What happens when an atheist sees an angel? Or dreams about something which then happens in reality? Many people brought up as ‘atheists’ in the former USSR and Mongolia report such experiences but do not know how to interpret them. Now they are also asking questions of a ‘spiritual’ nature about the meaning of life and whether or not there is a life after death. Based on interviews with people throughout Siberia, Central Asia and European Russia about their spiritual experiences, this book brings together insights into the ‘religious’ worldview. More than 200 illustrations help to portray the lives and cultures of these people.
