"The contributors hail from such varied and various disciplines as Theology, Philosophy, History, Egyptology, Philology and Anthropology, but I believe that parapsychologists might learn and benefit from this work as a fine example of a successful interdisciplinary endeavour."Elliot Cohen, Leeds Metropolitan University, Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, Vol 75,2"The effort which has been put into this volume is of high standard and should be commended. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in ghosts and apparitions, in order to learn more about how and why different people and different cultures interpret paranormal occurrences the way they do."Callum Cooper, Northampton University, The Journal for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies, Vol. 37, No. 2"As a whole, Rethinking Ghosts collects several valuable contributions to the study of specters and spirits in the world’s historical religions."
