WIE's Carter Phipps, in his search for the truth about the soul and the afterlife, interviews three leading researchers and theorists in the fields of parapsychology, near-death experiences, and reincarnation. Among them, and presented here as a WIE Unbound audio feature, were Dr. Bruce Greyson, Carol Bowman, and Dr. Michael Grosso.

Dr. Bruce Greyson, of the Department of Psychiatric Medicine at the University of Virginia and expert on near-death experiences, speaks with Carter about survival after death and theorizes about how and why the soul might have evolved. Carol Bowman, author of the groundbreaking book on reincarnation, Children's Past Lives, talks about her work finding—and counseling—families with children bearing vivid memories of past lives. Dr. Michael Grosso, afterlife theorist, philosopher, and author of Experiencing the Next World Now, speaks about his criteria for the study of such paranormal phenomena as mediumship, apparitions, and the metaphysical origins of the soul.

They all have amazing stories to tell, and what these dedicated researchers are doing may one day lead to a defining—and potentially culture-shattering—showdown between the world of science and the heart of religion.
