商品簡介
Scholars and practitioners of religion and social sciences focus on the intersection of death and religion in order to understand how people enact, revise, and improvise religious practices in a rapidly modernizing world in which religion can no longer be dismissed as a purely therapeutic function. The major world religions are surveyed, as well as native Californians and Sikhs. Other topics include forms of disposal, spontaneous shrines, and disaster.
