Based on a content analysis of writing assignments from a class on
death and dying, this book focuses on the manner in which college
students use religion to make sense of death and the dying process.
Drawing on research spanning five years, the author considers the
attitudes, concerns, and beliefs about death, exploring students'
perspectives on the place of religion in end-of-life issues. With
attention to questions related to death anxiety, suicide, mass
homicide, and the death of young children, the author examines the
ways in which students draw on religion to make sense of death,
religion's function as both a source of comfort and empowerment and
a source of distress, as well as the perceptions of those who
resist religion. As such, Religion, Life, and Death will appeal to
social scientists with interests in the sociology of young adults,
and the sociology and psychology of religion, death, and dying.
