More than a series of rites of passage through the landmarks of
growing up and growing old, Jewish and Christian life-cycle rituals
give the members of each religious tradition theological and
ritualized definitions of what a life should be. In this volume,
the fourth in the acclaimed series "Two Liturgical Traditions",
eight scholars explore the models of human life implicit in Judaism
and Christianity by unraveling and exploring the evolution and
current condition of their life-cycle liturgies. The essays
presented here emphasize the wholeness of a life as illustrated by
the religious metaphors inherent in life-cycle rites. The
contributors examine the history and shape of each life-cycle rite
- including the rituals and practices associated with birth,
adolescence, marriage, sickness, and death - and analyze the
theological message that each rite represents.
