Death and Religion in a Changing World by Kathleen Garces-Foley (Marymount University, USA.)
With contributions from leading religious studies scholars this is a comprehensive overview of the relationship between religion and death. This is the first and only book to be written at an accessible undergraduate level and has the potential to be adopted widely. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to cover new debates and developments for example end of life ethics and the hospice movement. This new edition also considers emerging phenomena such as public shrines, the COVID-19 pandemic, funeral celebrants, death with dignity, spiritual bereavement groups, and online funeral practices.
