About the Book

The academic study of death rose to prominence during the 1960s. Courses on some aspect of death and dying can now be found at most institutions of higher learning. These courses tend to stress the psycho-social aspects of grief and bereavement, however, ignoring the religious elements inherent to the subject. This collection is the first to address the teaching of courses on death and dying from a religious studies perspective. The book is divided into seven sections. The hope is that this volume will not only assist teachers in religious studies departments to prepare to teach unfamiliar and emotionally charged material, but also help to unify a field that is now widely scattered across several disciplines.

Table of Contents:
SECTION 1: WHAT OUGHT A COURSE ON DEATH ACCOMPLISH?; SECTION 2: PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF A COURSE ON DEATH; SECTION 3: MEDIA AS TEACHER AND AID TO TEACHING; SECTION FOUR: DEATH IN CONTEXT; SECTION FIVE: LITERATURES OF DEATH AND ON DEATH; SECTION SIX: COURSE OVERVIEWS; SECTION SEVEN: LIFE AFTER DEATH

About the Author :
Christopher M. Moreman is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, St. Francis Xavier University

Review :
"This is a high-quality collection of scholarly essays...It is an indispensable source for any beginning teacher of death and dying and a fine source of fresh insight for any accomplished teacher on the topic." --Religious Studies Review "Moreman's strategy of bringing together 'a range of scholars who have taught death-related courses" provides thorough and valuable guidance for inexperienced scholars charged to organize and teach a course on death and dying. In addition, more seasoned scholars will discover priceless gems to strengthen their approaches and pedagogical goals ...If you teach courses on death and dying, this collection is required reading. It provides an incredible array of perspectives, information, and practical ideas." --Teaching Theology and Religion "The contributors execute their task with expertise and professional enthusiasm and the resut is a work that will resonate beyond the intended audience. These are good teachers." --Health Progress
