In this interfaith book Lucinda Mosher investigates different
understandings of destiny, loss, death, and remembrance in
America's many religions. Using stories and interviews with a
variety of religious adherents and health professionals, the book
wrestles with questions such as: how can our religion guide us in
making decisions about certain kinds of medical treatment options?
What religion-related issues would it be helpful for a healthcare
provider to know? How do different religious traditions help manage
our grief? In a globalized society religious traditions sit
alongside each other as never before, and the need for religious
literacy and multifaith chaplaincy is increasingly recognized. By
looking at multireligious America, this book provides an essential
exploration of different attitudes to death, helping members of all
faith communities to become more literate with each other's
religious traditions.
