Summary
Ancient faiths and modern psi research come together in this course to be taught by Jimmy Akin. The online course, Religion & Parapsychology, will explore how Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and more have grappled with ESP, miracles, and the afterlife—and why serious evidence may challenge both skeptics and believers alike: What if psi research strengthens, rather than weakens, core religious claims about the soul, revelation, and the spiritual world?

| 1:15.3 | We'll be looking not only at what parapsychologists have made of religious ideas, but also what religious people can make of parapsychology. |
