A child's development includes learning the important distinction
between things that go away and come back, and things that go away
never to return. Life, or rather death, is one thing that the world
in unable to agree upon in this respect. Belief that life in some
way continues beyond the grave may be described as man's oldest
religious conviction, and we find pre-historic figures buried with
tools and ornaments for use in a supposed after-life. But attitudes
to death and what lies beyond, as well as the funeral liturgies and
burial customs that accompany death vary greatly according to faith
and culture. 'Death' presents these differences in attitudes and
customs, providing an example of the variation in world religions
in a quest for inter-faith understanding and respect. Death is one
of three books in the 'Living Faiths' series, which includes
'Marriage and the Family' (ISBN 9780718824440) and 'Initiation
Rites' (ISBN 9780718830878), this series aims to promote a
comprehensive Inter-faith understanding by outlining the diverse
attitudes and ceremonies related to rites of passage in different
faiths. The series has close links with the Standing Conference on
Inter-Faith Dialogue in Education, of which the series editor was
former Publications Secretary.
