Christians And The Paranormal

From our archives this classic interview with Cris Putnam on Christians and the paranormal. Cris Putnam, author of The Supernatural Worldview, joins Jim Paris Live. What should Christians think about the idea of ghosts, haunted houses, and other unexplained phenomenon? Why is there such a rise in popularity of paranormal themed TV programs? Can all paranormal activity simply be attributed to demons? How should Christians view those that claim that they can communicate with the dead? (John Edwards, James Van Praagh, etc...)? Why is the acceptance of the supernatural so much greater outside of the United States? Why does the church today minimize the miracles and supernatural events surrounding the Gospel account of the life of Jesus?
