Emphasis Preaching Journal

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross created a great sensation through her interviews with dying patients which she published in On Death and Dying. She made an important contribution to ministry in the hospitals through her observations about death and dying. However, since then she has gone overboard with her desire to prove something about the life beyond. One has to question whether all critically ill patients have the same experiences. More seriously, even if all had the same experiences in dying that would not speak to the question about the life hereafter.
