Source references
Greyson — The Near-Death Experience Scale (1983)
Foundational research instrument. A score classifies reported phenomenology; it does not establish heaven, hell, or honesty.
View provenanceMartial et al. — NDE-C scale (2020)
Expanded research instrument for experience content. Preserve instrument version and distinguish researcher-scored from inferred data.
View provenanceXu et al. — dying human brain gamma activity (2023)
Physiological research relevant to possible mechanisms; neural findings alone do not reveal the content of an experience.
View provenanceIANDS — pleasurable and distressing experiences
Helps separate reported emotional tone from theological claims about destination.
View provenanceNancy Evans Bush — distressing-experience work
Lists Dancing Past the Dark and related work. Important research lead for distressing experiences, not Christian doctrine.
View provenanceDon Piper — 90 Minutes in Heaven interview
Interview record for a widely known Christian testimony. Separate personal narrative from corroborated medical facts.
View provenanceMary C. Neal — To Heaven and Back
Publisher record for memoir; useful acquisition and rights lead. Publisher description is not independent verification.
View provenanceHoward Storm — My Descent Into Death
Publisher record for a distressing-to-positive testimony. One reported event may appear in many later interviews.
View provenanceBill Wiese — Soul Choice Ministries
Author calls his experience a vision. Catalog 23 Minutes in Hell as a claimed vision rather than a medical NDE.
View provenanceMary K. Baxter — A Divine Revelation of Hell
Publisher describes claimed visions; separate visionary literature from cardiac-arrest studies.
View provenanceMary K. Baxter — A Divine Revelation of Heaven
Companion visionary literature; theological and claim-level review needed.
View provenanceEben Alexander — Proof of Heaven
Publisher record for a prominent memoir. The title is a title, not an evidentiary grade.
View provenanceTodd Burpo and Lynn Vincent — Heaven Is for Real
Publisher-issued announcement identifying the book; obtain the source edition and account before assessing claims.
View provenance2 Corinthians 12 — WEB Updated
Paul’s heavenly experience and explicit limits on what is reported; do not invent a modern clinical diagnosis.
